On Friday got a text saying it would be delayed and collected a day late, ha its already a day late. Was outside after work and down comes the rubbish truck. He drove straight past the bin across the road who has the same service. Normally as our road is a loop he would collect one side then turn around and do the other. I waited and saw the truck drive off at the other end of the road. I immediately contacted waste management. Was told the driver will be back and collect the bins. This didn't make sense and I explained why would the driver go around the block 3 times instead of 2. I was assured it would be back. It wasn't, all I can think is they drove around the block so the GPS looked like the street had been done. The office is closed today (Saturday). So now we are still stuck with a full bin untill next week.
Another time they missed the bin collection the first person I spoke to said it would be collected next day due to operations issue. When that didnt happen contacted again and the second person reakoned I put it out late, that was incorrect as I had left early that day and the first person had already said what the issue was. Asked for a credit, never got it of course. Really p####s me off.

With NZQA approval for 13 micro-credentials, the New Zealand School Food and Wine hopes to inspire and attract new people to jobs in hospitality, wine and tourism and also enhance wider community understanding of our food and beverage story.
We export food and wine to the world, yet pride in this achievement is often lacking by our own communities.
There is a crisis right now because job-seekers, including school leavers, are being pushed into other industries especially the building trades. There is a perfect storm of government incentives paid to employers, along with negative counsel from career advisors and families warning young people off seeking careers in hospitality and tourism. This is resulting in a critical lack of workers.
In developing this suite of short, part-time micro-credentials that range from classic cooking to food and beverage history to food costing and digital marketing, we are seeking to inspire people to dip their toes into our sector, even if they are currently working or studying elsewhere.
In addition, these micro-credentials enable people already employed to develop new skills and craft new talents but to also signal that this career pathways is valid, diverse and on-going. Just look at our food heros, like Peter Gordon and Annabel Langbein, now in their 60s, with a tremendous backstory.
From the various lockdowns, we know that people find joy in cooking and that people are curious to develop new talents in the kitchen; that wine and cocktails are cool and fun; that an important part of any tourism destination is the food and beverage offering whether as a winery cellar door experience or paddock to plate cuisine.
Online Options
Online study options are embedded in many of the short programmes, enabling people from around the country to study about New Zealand wine or learn how to write an electronic newsletter or find out more about our food history.
The micro-credentials are equally suitable for the consumer; the food and wine lover who just wants to learn more. In building broader community understanding and respect for the food and beverage culture of Aotearoa-New Zealand, inevitably we will see more people attracted to work in our sector. That is the shared goal of these new programmes.
We would like your feedback to help finalise the draft plan in 2022, providing the best guidance possible for our precious regional parks for the next decade.
📅 Consultation open from 10 December 2021 to 4 March 2022.

After watching it nudging the bigger rabbit to wake it and then laying beside it, on the road, we picked it up and took it home.
To our surprise, it's extremely tame, friendly and HEAPS of fun.
We cant keep it because our dog wants to hunt it.
We're hoping for a loving home with adults/children willing to spend time with it. It's playful, clean and not a fussy eater. It likes weeds, bread and vegetables.

We watch the smaller companion gently nudging it to wake and then laid beside it (on the road).
To our amazement, it let us pick it up and take it home. Since then, it's been running around the house treating us like a companion. It handles a cage but it's so special that we're hoping to find it a home where adults/children will give it attention.
We cant keep it because our dog wants to hunt it.
100% enjoyment guarateed. (we've even given it a bath and it's not a fussy eater - weeds, vegetables, bread, etc).
