He is about 3 yrs. I need to reheome my little guy because he was with my elderly mother, and it didn't work out. I would like somebody local to love him. I will be available to have him part time, if that suits you. I would like him to find a very loving small family that will adore him. He is ok with cats, but he is very little, maybe 3kgs. He is very special. He will have to live near my home, because I do need to make sure Louie is well. I would like to stay in touch. Thank you
The photo is not Louie, it is his father Lucky.

🧀 Hold up! Countdown's 500g cheese is playing tricks on your wallet – it's 54% pricier per kilo compared to the 1kg block! What's the story behind this cheesy surprise?

Jack Neighbourly Lead from Ponsonby

Why in the cheese world would anyone go for those 500g blocks? Countdown's pricing has me scratching my head, and it feels like I'm caught up in a cheesy conundrum. 🧀 Are they targeting those who aren't keen on math or those who can't swing the 1kg block that day?

Why in the cheese world would anyone go for those 500g blocks? Countdown's pricing has me scratching my head, and it feels like I'm caught up in a cheesy conundrum. 🧀 Are they targeting those who aren't keen on math or those who can't swing the 1kg block that day?

Someone at Countdown decided to give that 500g budget cheese block a significant price bump. I'm asking politely – who's behind this? Who thought it was a good idea to raise the price by 54% when slicing the cheese? 🤔

Now, let's break it down:

1kg block = $11.29 per kg
500g block = $17.40 per kg ... a whopping 54% more expensive per kg.
For just $2.59 more, you could snag an extra 500g of cheese with the 1kg block! That's the difference. You're only saving $2.59 with the 500g block but paying way more per kilo. 💸

I know there are bigger things happening in the world, but this pricing mystery has been on my mind. If you're into those 500g blocks, spill the cheese – what's your take? What's the real story here? 🧐

Still missing 😔

Evie is a 14 year old grey tortie - quite pretty colouring (mainly grey with caramel) with some cream on her chest. No white on her at all. She has been missing since 16 November, 2023.

Please take a screenshot of this post so you have photos and my number handy in case you see her.

She likes people but might not let you pick her up so please take a video or photo if you see her and call me asap on 021 072 0933 (Anna).

She’s quite lean and small to medium size. When she’s happy she ‘talks’ ❤️ De-sexed and microchipped.

Last seen in Mont Le Grand Rd, Mt Eden. Please check your garage, shed, garden and under deck and house.

Apparently cats who are hiding don’t meow so please look carefully even if you don’t hear her. Thank you so much 🙏

-A spacious unit with one of the largest patios in the block.
-Industrial chic combined with a modern, stylish aesthetic.
-Located in an entertainment hub with bars, cafés, & casual & high-end restaurants.

Videos & aerial shots of the block, & specification sheet: bit.ly... All units of the block were made using the same suite of high-quality materials. The colour is the most significant difference.

Being able to go between the street & unit without using the lifts is good on day 1 & very appreciated after year 1.

-Hallway: intercom with the ability to unlock the block's front door.
-Coat closet: power sockets, optical network terminal (for fibre-internet), Ethernet ports that are connected to those in the dining room & 1st bedroom, TV connections, shelf, horizontal bar for hangers.
-Bathroom: toilet, 2 sinks (regular & deep), very large shower, washing machine, water heater for the unit (supplies stable-temperature water to the shower & taps when appliances are being used, & hot water to the unit even if the electricity & water supply are cut), extractor fan (can be turned on via switch & is turned on when current is drawn from the relevant wall socket), heated towel rack & floor.
-Kitchen with high-end appliances:
--Fisher & Paykel fridge-freezer.
--smeg cooker:
---4 induction hob elements.
---Cooker (oven, grill, fan (off, low, high), clock, alarm, timer (cooker will turn on & off at certain times), cleaning mode).
--Dishwasher, sink with waste disposal unit, extractor fan, lights next to the fan & under the cupboards.
-Bathroom & kitchen: gentle-close cupboards & drawers, & gentle-touch taps that can be operated by wrist.
-Dining room: satellite & UHF TV, & Ethernet ports.
-1st bedroom: UHF TV & Ethernet ports.
-Patio: water tap, lights, very durable tiles with small gaps between them (every gap is a drain - avoiding the puddles that form when cleaning other patios).

Patio: 34m2. Rest of unit: 79.2m2. Total: 113.2m2.
Ceiling height: hallway, bathroom & 2nd bedroom: 2.85m; patio & rest of unit: 4m. Most of the block's units have ceiling heights of much less than 4m.

As a guide, the tenant’s internet package: wireless (4G), >5MB/s, $39/month.
Lights: LED.

The block has >350t of concrete & steel, & significant thermal mass. At midday summer & midnight winter it is noticeably cooler & warmer respectively than other homes. Most residents don’t bother with active heating or cooling.

Indoor car park:
-Private parking that is big enough for e.g. a large SUV, 3 motorbikes & some tool boxes. There is no official parking for guests but if one of yours occasionally parks behind you, that is tolerable. There is a security camera near here & at other locations.
-If you require an electric vehicle charger, the BC manager can install it.
-Parking for bikes shared with the block's residents.
-Air quality monitors (including CO), automatic ventilation.
-Electronically operated & monitored doors.

Residents & their guests commonly use street parking & many businesses in the area have external security cameras.

Apartment block:
-At entrance: box for couriers & others to leave notes.
-Foyer: post boxes with locks (couriers will large items on top of the boxes & in view of the camera, or with a neighbour, depending on your preference).
-Common areas: lifts, security cameras.
-Double glazing.
-Soundproofing in the floors & walls.
-Street parking on each side. If you have heavy items to move between the unit & a truck, you can park it on the pavement, which is a 10s-walk from the unit’s front door.

Driving distance (m): Four Square (grocery store; 220), petrol (240), scooter mechanic (250), car park with EV chargers (450), SH16 west (550), car mechanic (700), SH1 south (800), Countdown Ponsonby (1,300), Countdown Mt Eden (1,700), Mission Bay beach (near changing rooms, toilets, shower & a fountain; 8800).

The unit is quiet due to not being
a) high in the block (the higher the level, the more wind noise there is; levels 3 & 4 are very noticeably more noisy, & higher levels are worse; several times per year the wind is strong enough to move possessions that are on patios),
b) near a main road (the nearest is 83m away & >70m is recommended if you want to avoid noise) or train track (the nearest is 409m away & given that trains have to sound their horns >300m is recommended), or
c) in a corridor with a lot of foot traffic (only the resident of a 1-bedroom unit needs to walk past the front door of this unit; other units have >20 times more foot traffic).

Multi-award-winning developer Urban Collective converted a data centre that was built to demanding bomb-shelter standards into a modern apartment block. Many of the residents are professionals, artists or businesses people. The block is excellent for meeting clients & photoshoots (I have shot models in & around the block many times).

The tenants can stay (@ $870/w) or leave, & in the latter case the unit will be expertly serviced & cleaned. You'll have the apartment's manuals & access to friendly neighbours. If you need help with moving or anything else, before or after purchase, please ask.

9 sequential photos are labelled "105E". This unit was empty so photographing it was more convenient. It has a different layout but the ceilings, walls, floors, windows, tiles (bathroom & patio), doors, taps, switches, sinks etc. are the same re colours & materials.

The block's online group has a lot of activity, & is used by residents to share free items (usually homeware), advice, products & services.

Options: queen bed, inflatable jacuzzi with powerful 28W UV-ray sanitation system, heavy-duty cabinet with 101cm LCD TV, desks, metal & wooden shelves, drawer units, chairs, stools, 3-person sofa.

BC fee: $3,922
Rates: $2,455
CV (1.8.22): $440k land + $660k improvements = $1.1M
Elevation: 75m above sea level.
