Yesterday approaching the St Andrews crossing 3 lads on scooters decided to get the red light and cross early at the bus stop - quite a bit before the actual crossing. Luckily for me coming up I heard the first one shout out - "Lets cross here" - so I was prepared as they all just scooted off the pavement into the bus lane without a look - the last one nearly hit me - luckily the bus wasn't coming. I did shout at them to watch out for traffic.
Then this morning 6 Papanui HS lads decided to cross along Harewood road - all good as no cars but then they ambled over ignoring the fact there were 2 of us cyclists coming along - if you are going to cross then do it - don't just amble along.
Us cyclists quite often get a bad report but in both of these cases it was pedestrians that were not taking care. If I had swerved to avoid the scooter boys and hit a car, then it would have been the cyclist at fault
that is my winge over for today.

A few large items I don’t need and thought maybe someone else would like them or knows someone or somewhere who would. Unfortunately I have no vehicle to transport anything but I am available to help lift if need be.
Fridge/freezer, standard size, works well, though the freezer iced up after a couple of months if it was too full.
Metal futon/fold down couch/sofa bed, but it doesn’t have any mattress or cushion on it - it is the metal frame ONLY

Warmer Kiwi Homes is a government grant that offers 80% - 90% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump. In August, the eligibility criteria were extended so over 50,000 more households are eligible for insulation grants.
And you may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.
Check your eligibility, or check for your whānau.
