This lounge suite was purchased three years at over $4,000 and is in excellent condition. For the last year while we were selling the apartment it has only been used for staging and even prior to that my father was in care for 8 months so the rocker recliner was barely used and the sofa wasn't often used at all. For those who find it difficult getting up from the lower couches you will have no problem at all with this. Price is $875.

Better still, they’re a snap to make, especially if you have ready-grated tasty and parmesan cheese from Mainland in the fridge.
For the more adventurous eaters, finish each muffin with a little wedge of Brie, Noble or Blue cheese. You might not be able to resist sneaking a couple for your own lunch!

Countries are graded on 65 attributes - how well they rank in citizenship, cultural influence, education, heritage, power and quality of life, among other factors. Switzerland has topped the list, again; the small European nation was also number one in 2018 and 2017. Although it didn't make the top ten, New Zealand comes in at number 12 - behind Australia, which places 7th on the list. Our neighbour across the Tasman Sea "comes in third on the list for comfortable retirement, and fifth on the best countries to travel alone list," reports Condé Nast Traveler.
"Chalk it up to that renowned Aussie friendliness and the country's unrivaled landscapes." The planet's worst countries are named as Iraq (80), Iran (79), Angola (78) and Serbia (77).

I have recently had spinal injury and I am finding it uncomfortable laying in bed and on the couch. I would like a chair with high arm rests up to my shouldrers that reclines. I would like the seat to be as high as my knee to make the chair easy to get up out of. I am on a benefit so can not afford to pay too much. I can get my elderly father to pick up. I can pay by credit card. My dad might be able to afford it but he too is on a retirement benefit. Can someone pleasr help me as the heat is unbearable.

While seven more pupils will start on Monday and a further seven in the following week, the school will remain overstaffed for months, if not years. Almost one in six Auckland schools was still looking for teachers when the school year started this week, despite a global recruitment drive which has brought in 225 overseas teachers nationally, including 150 in Auckland. The 10 teachers have been working at the school since the last term ahead of the official opening. It is hoped the roll will reach 180 within three years. NZ Educational Institute president Lynda Stuart said the Ministry of Education policy was to staff new schools in advance of roll growth so they could build a coherent team and school culture.
But, she suggested that the ministry could reconsider its policy at a time when teachers were desperately needed elsewhere. "There are some practices that happen that actually could be changed to alleviate the situation," she said. "That could be one." Ōtara Principals Association president Alan Lyth said several Ōtara schools, which are not far from the new school, were short of teachers. "I know, for example, one school is short of a couple of teachers, but has made it work by having the management team go into the classrooms several days a week," he said. Roll growth at his own school, Bairds Mainfreight Primary, has forced him to increase class sizes from 26-27 to 29-30. "That might not sound much, but it makes a big difference to teachers' mental health and wellbeing," he said. "The biggest problem is going to be when people start getting sick and exhausted, we won't be able to get relievers. So 13 kids to 10 teachers sounds a very enviable situation to be in." Ministry deputy secretary Ellen MacGregor-Reid said new schools were staffed to "do all the work required to get their new school up and running like establishing and developing learning policies and curriculum as well as a full set of policies and procedures".
"Schools can work together to share teachers if they want to – there are no barriers the ministry puts in the way of that," she said. Te Uho o te Nikau ("the heart of the nikau palm") has been built with capacity for 560 students in an area of eastern Flat Bush where Harcourts Botany managing director Aman Pannu says 2000 to 4000 homes are planned. The school's principal Mel Bland pointed to hundreds of houses under construction in the immediate area. "Most of the homes in our area are still empty, so we have about 400 empty homes in our zone," she said.
The school's 13 children are from China, India, Cambodia, Malaysia, the Philippines, the Cook Islands, Fiji and South Africa, as well as New Zealand. Bland said 80 per cent of the school's long-term roll was likely to be Asian. The two closest schools, Ormiston Primary and Mission Heights Primary, are already 76 and 80 per cent Asian.
She said she about 150 families had inquired about enrolling their children, but most were from outside the school zone. The ministry has drawn strict, non-overlapping zones for all the schools in the area to ensure they can cope with the expected population growth. "We are called 'Te Uho o te Nikau', 'the heart' of the community, and we really want to be that," Bland said. "It would be terrible for a family in this zone not to be able to grow with us." Two of the pupils who started yesterday lapped up the luxury of having a teacher all to themselves.
Guo Yong Choo, aged 7, and Matoroa Edmonds-Taomia, 6, were reading a book together with their teachers Laurie Power and Gina Heo after yesterday's opening ceremony.

I would like to put a Little Free Library in my front garden and need a suitable cabinet - deep enough for books and with glass doors so people can see the books inside. I've been keeping an eye out on Trade Me but have missed out on quite a few. If anyone has something suitable going free to a good home or at least selling cheaply please get in touch! I'd build one but I have zero carpentry skills (but always happy to give book advice!). I've attached a picture to give a general idea but fancy leadlighting not essential!
