Computer Desk and Accessories, and TV for sale

Jean from Linwood

As people will know on Neighbourly, my husband passed away in August, and now I no longer have need for an extra computer desk, so I would like to sell this desk, together with an AOC Monitor, a set of Speakers, and a typist chair, for $90 (see photo attached).

As a Tower computer was being used with this desk, my husband made a slot at the side of the desk for the Tower to stand in. He also extended the end of the desk so that a telephone and cradle could stand there. The monitor has hardly ever been used, because it was a spare computer I had set up in case my husband wanted to look for something on the internet, which wasn't very often.
The TV I would like to sell is my husband's portable 19 inch TV, which he bought from new but, only took it out with him about three times, with his video camera, when he wanted to watch what he was videoing. It would be ideal for a caravan or motor home. It cost him $284 but I would accept $80, if anyone is interested. I haven't used it myself, so any interested parties are welcome to come along and try it out if they wish. Perhaps you could message me if you are interested.

10am 5th November
The Phillipstown Murals Walk is part of the Phillipstown Walks project.

The Phillipstown Walks is a series of free, resident-led guided walks within Phillipstown that celebrate local history and the knowledge residents hold.

This walk will focus on discovering the pieces of street art that colour the walls of many building in our neighbourhood.

This walk is organised in collaboration with Watch this Space. Reuben Woods, Watch this Space creative director (whose PhD focused on graffiti and street art within post-earthquake Christchurch) will lead our tour around Phillipstown.

Come along to learn and share stories about the Phillipstown murals and street art and connect with your neighbours.

The walk is perfect for the young, the old, those who have lived in Phillipstown for years, and our newest neighbours as well.

At the end of the walk, we will stop at the Phillipstown Community hub for a coffee or a juice while chatting about the walk and the street art in Phillipstown

The walk is about 2 km at a slow pace. If that's a possible issue, we recommend use of mobility aids.

In case of very bad weather conditions, the walk will be postponed to the following day, Sunday 6 November, same time.

To register your attendance, please use the form at the link: bit.ly...
