Happy Tuesday neighbours,

Many people have come forward saying their phone can't scan a QR code and many businesses have gotten rid of sign in sheets, leaving them confused with what they're supposed to do when they enter a business.

Are you one of these people? I'd love to hear from you, please email me at jake.kenny@stuff.co.nz

If you have been to a business that has no QR codes OR sign-in sheet, please also let me know via email or in the comments.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Noisy neighbours 108 Purchas Street (Elderwood Lane)

Robyn from Edgeware

Taken me a year of stress to write this but I live a few feet away from the 'flats' at 108 Purchas Street - the ones at the end in Elderwood Lane who are having a 'battle of the bands' which is driving me and neighbours crazy. It's a very built up corner with recent flats … View moreTaken me a year of stress to write this but I live a few feet away from the 'flats' at 108 Purchas Street - the ones at the end in Elderwood Lane who are having a 'battle of the bands' which is driving me and neighbours crazy. It's a very built up corner with recent flats added to 21 Packe St. Screaming metal music at all hours and bad amplified practising has driven each neighbour to 'amp up'. I'm in touch with council and will be with property owners but any Neighbourly assistance appreciated.

Grooves up or down? Decking debate settled

Kylie Klein Nixon Reporter from Homed

The great kiwi deck, every home should have one. But there's a decking debate raging in DIY and Reno circles: Should the grooves go up or down?
We think we've settled the argument here.

Have you heard of a third Lyttelton Tunnel?

You’ve probably heard of the Lyttelton Road Tunnel – officially opened in 1964.

And then there’s the much older Lyttelton Rail Tunnel – officially opened in 1867.

Christchurch residents restricted to watering gardens on alternate days

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

The Christchurch City Council has imposed water restrictions to ensure there is enough water for firefighting, after residents used an average of 400 litres each on Wednesday.

Under level one restrictions, residents at odd-numbered addresses can use their hoses, sprinklers, and garden irrigation systems before 3pm or after 9pm on odd dates, with residents at even-numbered addresses doing so on even dates.

“Watering gardens and lawns using irrigation systems, hoses and sprinklers is the real challenge - washing the car using a bucket, using a watering can in the garden, or filling a small paddling pool, on any day, is fine under level one restrictions," head of three waters Helen Beaumont says.

Level two water restrictions were introduced last month in Akaroa, Duvauchelle and Takamatua on Banks Peninsula, as the streams that supply drinking water to those towns had been especially low.

Starting a conversation about care isn’t always easy but like many things, sometimes you just need to take the first step.

To help nurture those conversations, we invite you to our Care Centre Open Days at your local Ryman village. A tour will give you first-hand experience of our village communities and the exceptional care we provide.

Hi all,
Further to the below post, I want to thank everyone who reached out with offers and support etc, happy to now say my daughter and I have secured a place along with our old fur baby, so excited for the move and our new journey!

Just really throwing this out there on here as well. After 10yrs renting current property under an agency I need to move on by the end of Jan/start of feb due to house being sold!

We are looking for a minimum 2x bedroom, fully fenced secured yard to allow my old fat lazy dog and my beautiful child to play!

I have a FABULOUS reference from the agency with a high recommendation including the dog, who is sad to loose us as valued tenants.

Please if anyone hears or knows of any rentals becoming available over the next month (pet friendly) can you kindly let me know.
Much appreciated.

I hope everyone had a lovely Xmas and New Year.

Thank you in advance.
Katie.
