REVIEW: The food gods were listening and they might just be Italian.
A couple of months ago I reviewed Somerfield Italian restaurant Piccolo and bemoaned the lack of similar establishments.
"In a perfect world, every suburb would have a neighbourhood Italian restaurant," I wrote.

Weeks later, neighbourhood Italian restaurant The Birdwood opened in Beckenham, and after giving them a chance to find their feet, I subjected the staff to the cruelest of tests: bringing four ravenous boys on a wet Saturday night.
When we booked, we had been warned that we would be at a high bar table and when I saw how packed the restaurant was when we arrived, I had to apologise as three boys had turned into four. Would that be a problem? It took some scrambling to find a spare chair but we were seated, no problem.

Hi guys we are looking for anyone that may have a gas heater we could have or borrow or possibly buy we just need 1 for a few weeks while we build our bus and find a fireplace to buy been braving the cold but really need something to take the chill off :)
I noticed a washing machine on the kerbside while walking home this evening. It looks okay but not sure if it is in working condition. It didn’t rain so I think it should still be okay. Pick up 25 Lyndon street, Riccarton.

St Albans and Mairehau residents have joined local businesses in opposing proposed changes that would channell traffic to and from the $240 million motorway past their doors when it opens in 2020.
Locals, including Christchurch Central MP Duncan Webb, have made submissions and more than 100 others have launched a petition asking the Christchurch City Council to rethink how to link the motorway to the central city.
"Why are Christchurch residents having to be disadvantaged by traffic from North Canterbury being forced down our roads?," the petition asks.
"These are people from a different district that don't pay rates here, but the residents and business in St Albans, Mairehau and Edgeware are paying the costs socially and financially to accommodate these people so they can get to or from the city a few minutes faster."
Congratulations to everyone involved in the impressive post-earthquake builds and rebuilds celebrated at the 2018 NZIA Canterbury Architecture Awards.
Here's a tiny selection of the award-winning properties, some of which you may have spotted in and around Christchurch. See more, here.
"It is important we get action on these sites because we want to create a more positive impression of parts of our central city," says Council's Carolyn Ingles.

This winter, St John urges the public to prioritise health & wellbeing. The most important thing you can do is be immunised against influenza and seek advice from a health professional if you are unwell. Each winter the surge of 111 ambulance calls continues to increase, which despite St John’s best efforts to triage and treat people in-home, places a lot of pressure on the ambulance service and the hospital emergency departments.
St John has issued five key messages to the public to help them look after themselves and each other this winter – read them here: goo.gl...
