Drove to Lake Ellesmere on Saturday night to try and capture the Aurora with a Sony SLT-A99 full frame camera I picked up 2nd hand earlier that day - only a weak aurora at best sadly, but with no moon and a clear sky the Milky Way was a pretty amazing plan B... :)

“A lot of people don’t realise what protections they have when they buy consumer goods from a New Zealand business” says Neil Lancaster of Citizens Advice Bureau Christchurch Area. “According to the Consumer Guarantees Act, those goods must be of acceptable quality. This means that the product must do what you would expect it to, and last a reasonable length of time.”
Neil Lancaster says “The product must be fit for its normal purpose and in good working order, have an acceptable finish and appearance, no minor defects, be safe to use and durable. For example, if you buy a new vacuum cleaner and it doesn’t clean the floor very well, overheats easily or needs repairs not long after the purchase, then it is not of acceptable quality. Also, if you’ve arranged for the business to deliver the product to you, they are responsible for ensuring that it arrives in good working order.”
“Second hand consumer goods that are sold by businesses must also be of acceptable quality, though of course you shouldn’t expect a second hand product to last as long as a brand new one, nor that it will be free of dents or scratches. You do need to take into consideration the age and price of the item.”
“If something you’ve bought from a business is of unacceptable quality, you can go back to the business and the business must put it right”. They have to get it repaired at their own cost, or if it can’t be easily fixed they have to replace the item or give you a refund. The business can’t simply refer you to the manufacturer, require you to return the item in its original packaging, or offer you store credit instead of a refund.”
“Some people think that once the warranty expires then that’s the end of the story, but in fact even if something is out of warranty you still have the same rights under the law. You should expect what you’ve bought to last a reasonable length of time, regardless of the warranty.”
“If you do strike any problems with getting a remedy for goods of unacceptable quality, we can help” says Neil Lancaster “Just pop into one of our three Christchurch locations; Ara (CPIT), Fendalton Library or Hornby Library or call 0800 367 222 (free to call from a prepaid cell phone).

✅ Walls, skirting boards and spot cleaning ceilings
✅ Shower, vanity, toilet
✅ Floors in kitchen, laundry and bathroom
✅ Windows inside and out
✅ Help changing some light bulbs and curtains
‼️ Date - Saturday 16th September 8.30am

‼️ Expect it will take 2-3hours
‼️ Need to supply own vacuum cleaner and step ladder
‼️ Can supply cleaning products if you tell me what to get but if you have your own that's easier
‼️ It is a small 2 bedroom unit, so not a huge space
‼️ Address - London Street, Richmond
Prefer someone with experience to get a good finish for the new tenants but also appreciate it's short notice.
Hi I'm looking for an old school ladder that would've hung on hooks over a bed bunk, preferably wooden.
