"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."

The Cancer Society has partnered with 9 skydive companies across Aotearoa to offer you a free skydive when you raise $1000.

You can sign up as an individual, or as team, such as a workplace. Regardless, each person must raise $1000 or more to qualify for a free jump.
When you sign up you'll get to choose where you jump and which region you'd like your funds to go to - these don't have to be the same, they could be at opposite ends of the country.
If you don't know where you want to jump yet, that's absolutely fine. Your local Cancer Society team can talk you through your options and help you pick the jump site that's right for you.
Stop hesitating, go on, sign up now!
Okay, it is not Friday but this picture by Rosa Marie is too good not to use.

You deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about power bills.
Warmer Kiwi Homes is a government grant that offers 80% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.
And you may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.

This mat is in sound condition. It measures 220 by 160, quality cut pile and edges are bound.
Primary colour is red.
Depending on what you want to use it for it would be fine as is but a little freshen up would make it almost as new.

In the photo it looks wrinkled by I had just unrolled it and a vaccum or lying flat for a while will smooth it out.
It comes from a smoke free home and been in dry storage for a few years. Time to move it on.
Pickup is in Kuripuni.
Thanks for looking.
These two tyre tubes are taking up room. My teenage sons used them for floating down the river.
They are free if anyone would like them.

This thick durable flexible plastic I have kept thinking that it would be good for a garden edge between lawn and shingle driveway. The piece with the red stripe is what is laid on top of power cables to indicate there is cables underneath.

"This bird is believe it, or not, I believe is Black Tern! "The Black Tern is one of four marsh tern species found worldwide and the rarest in New Zealand, with one accepted sighting north of Wellington in 2022. When breeding it is a small black tern with grey wings. It is pale in non-breeding plumage (as was the only local record).
Like the closely related white-winged black tern, the black tern can be found in a range of freshwater and estuarine habitats. The nominate form breeds in Eurasia, migrating to Africa to winter, while the North America subspecies migrates to Central and South America" We now have at least three birds in New Zealand, as I spotted three individual birds with the flock of White Fronted Terns. So rare in NZ. Very rapt, and a great find."
Last tin!
Whole jalapeño peppers stuffed with traditional Mexican cheese, called queso fresco, and covered in a spicy tomato puree.
Wrap in bacon and put on the BBQ!

Some Wellington streets are more likely than others to collect wedged buses and trucks, with one resident saying in 2016 that a stuck bus was a six-monthly affair on one bend.
