Does include an adapter for an 18v Makita battery however which is how I used it. So you will need either a B&D or a Makita 18v battery. The adapter could be used to power any B&D 18v power tool.

Dear Mum,
Just a quick note. I hear from Kiwi friends a concert I did appeared on the NZ news. Probably the most recent from what I hear.
I was interviewed by Jude Dobson who was over here.
Nothing spectacular. They snuck up on me while I was rehearsing alone so was interviewed tired, stinky and no make up. Not even decent clothes. It is what it is.
Will write more when get over my cold.
Love you

What I am asking...did anyone see this on TV just recently, because it must have been one news bulletin I didn't watch...wonder what the segment was. At one time Elizabeth was in the Army Band (first girl in) and now teaches as well as being a respected and popular performer..Just wonder why Jude Dobson was interviewing her and how it came up in the mainstream news.
If you saw it and remember it, can you please let me know what it was about....and which channel it was on because it may be possible to You Tube it - something like that......still my girl..."stinky, no make up, not decent clothes"........Elizabeth has long blonde (assisted) hair and is quite petite, and looks just like her gorgeous and multi talented Mum.....
Thanks guys....

It is a long-term rental agreement of a solar power setup, fully installed with nothing to pay apart from a $147.50 monthly bill for 20 years.
I did as much research as I could and failed to find fault with it. It gives me solar power with no huge outlay. I asked Scott to look at it as he will find any loopholes and he agreed it looked legit.
The cost to install this would be over $35K as it has a bank of Batteries that allow the system to operate during a power outage for Lights, TV, fridge, Freezer but not heaters air conditioners and the big power users.
On a cold winter day we will use the solar to start with then as the heaters come on we turn to the grid until it phases out again at night. At this time I pay the monthly rental plus power I used from the grid at whole sale prices
On a hot summer's day hardly any power will come from the grid and the unit sends power to the grid. Depending on how I manage all the various appliances at certain times, I could minimise grid and max solar power. That is the theory. 🙂
There was ONE snag that turned up, that was to do with me dying before the term was finished.
1) It can stay here and whoever buys the house takes over the lease, (that is what has happened where this has occurred)
2) Have it moved to Scott or Kylie's house at no cost, or
3) Buy out the remaining residual rental.
I made a totally selfish call and said "As, at that time, it will not affect me, I will look down, or up and watch how you handle it, probably laughing".
If you are interested in knowing more give me a call.

Canterbury’s mayors have called for an additional $1 billion to improve transport in the region, but no-one can say exactly what the extra cash would be spent on.
The funding is one of three “immediate priorities” in the Plan for Canterbury 2023-2025, which says ensuring the transport system is “fit for purpose requires significant investment”.
The document has been drawn-up by Canterbury Mayoral Forum, which is made up of the mayors of Canterbury’s 10 territorial authorities and Peter Scott, chairperson of Environment Canterbury (ECan).
It doesn’t state exactly how the extra billion would be spent, but one transport expert said although the extra detail “would be useful”, it was still a good message to send to Wellington.
A report published on Wednesday said the additional $1b for the region’s “vast transport network” is required over the next 10 years as “current funding sources do not meet present or future [...] resilience requirements”.
When asked what specific projects the $1b might fund, Hurunui District mayor Marie Black said: “At this point it’s probably not useful to think about specific details, but actually the direction that we are looking is to create a better link and help people mind-shift into that integration.”
Christchurch mayor Phil Mauger was not available for comment, while Ecan was also unable to respond to questions about what the cash would be used for.
The Mayoral Forum report said transport strongly influences economic development, “supporting supply chains that are critical for getting our exports to market and imports back to us”.
“Current funding sources from local authorities and the National Land Transport Fund will not meet current needs, particularly when faced with resilience issues.”
Although no specific concerns or solutions are stated, “there are options to be investigated”, the report said.
Christchurch transportation engineer Glen Koorey said it was good news that transport was being prioritised by the region’s mayors but greater detail “would be useful”.
Ministers often expect people to “present a case”, when they are asking for extra funding.
“Having said that, it’s probably a useful message to be able to say to Wellington, we feel we're a bit underserved.
“Canterbury has often felt underserved in terms of funding, Wellington often seems to do better for a region the same size, if not smaller,” he said.
“I can understand (the Canterbury Mayors) asking for a bigger piece of the pie.”
The Plan for Canterbury 2023-2025 also calls for improved flood prevention and better policies to attract skilled workers to region, as Canterbury’s gross domestic product (GDP) per person “lags (behind) the national average”.
Canterbury is New Zealand’s largest region by land area, with 78,000km of rivers and streams, which present “substantial risk of major flooding events”, the report said.
The mayors are calling on the Government for “permanent co-investment in flood protection”, to shift the focus from disaster relief and recovery to mitigation of flood risks, reducing the long-term costs.
The Rangitata River burst its banks in December 2019 causing widespread flooding, while extreme rain in May 2021 led to a regional state of emergency and hundreds of evacuations.
These recent events demonstrated how vulnerable parts of the region are to flooding, said Gary Kircher, mayor for Waitaki District, which also spans Otago.
“Flooding has impacted us probably more than other natural disasters,” he said.
“Just last July and August there were multiple flood events around Omarama and Otematata, and we have those challenges across the region.”
The mayors will travel to Wellington next month to outline their aims to ministers.
“Having one voice is going to be more effective and benefit all of us,” Kircher said.

I have lived in New Zealand for the last twelve years, after being born and raised in Somerset, England. My parents ran a playgroup in our house for much of my childhood and I made close friends there, but I still felt isolated and different to everyone else.
I always loved food. We were able to help ourselves from the cupboards at home when I was young, with no restrictions. I believe a normal eater would just eat until they were full, but I could not stop. I put extra food in Mum's shopping basket and would gorge on leftovers at night with my friends. My friend’s dad owned a pub and when the half-eaten plates came back, I would pick chips off them, chatting as I did so, to my friends' astonished faces.
"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."
