Hi all. I have a spa pool which is not working. Shell and cover are in very good condition, but the heater and stage 1 pump doesn't work. It is certainly repairable if you are or know an electrician, or electronics whizz kid. It is about 15 years old. I intend to get a new one, once more … View moreHi all. I have a spa pool which is not working. Shell and cover are in very good condition, but the heater and stage 1 pump doesn't work. It is certainly repairable if you are or know an electrician, or electronics whizz kid. It is about 15 years old. I intend to get a new one, once more arrive in the shops. It is free to anyone who is prepared to come and take away. It will need at least 4 strong blokes to lift it and carry across the garden to the driveway. Weight(empty) is approx 300 kgs. I am in Pines Beach. Ring 021 938 480 if you are interested. Happy Christmas everyone.

Hiya neighbours, we are still on the lookout for a suitable house to rent in Kaiapoi. We are both older folks, we don't smoke and have no pets. We would like a long term rental, preferably a three bedroom home, but we can probably consider a two bedroom if the garage is of the larger type so … View moreHiya neighbours, we are still on the lookout for a suitable house to rent in Kaiapoi. We are both older folks, we don't smoke and have no pets. We would like a long term rental, preferably a three bedroom home, but we can probably consider a two bedroom if the garage is of the larger type so that we can store our bikes and I can continue working at my small business. We want to stay in Kaiapoi as we both like it here. A garden would be welcome as Paul has a keen interest in that.
We also have excellent references. So if you know of anywhere that might be suitable please get in touch, we have wee bit of time yet but as we all know time is a fleeting thing, so if you know or have heard of something that may suit please get in touch. Thank you to all, Lynda and Paul.😄

Carl and Maureen Seaward with their annual Christmas light extravaganza near Prebbleton in 2014.
Sadly Maureen died of motor neurone disease earlier this year. The lights, at 650 Shands Rd, are open again this year though, until December 30. $5 entry per person. Read more here.

Hey Christchurch drivers,
One 270-metre stretch of bus lane in the Garden City cost drivers more than half a million dollars in fines in just 12 months.

One 270-metre stretch of bus lane in the Garden City cost drivers more than half a million dollars in fines in just 12 months.
Nearly 6000 fines worth a total of $740,250 have been dished out for driving or parking in the city's bus lanes since the end of November last year, with just one bus lane responsible for well over half of that.
The stretch between Mona Vale and Deans Ave on Riccarton Rd, which opened in late 2018, has proven a major money-maker for the Christchurch City Council, netting the authority more than $560,000 in just 12 months. A total of 3828 fines were issued to drivers caught in the lane – an average of 319 a month.
Have you copped a bus lane fine before? What for, and where?

Sometimes the simplest things in life can bring the most joy.
Scott Wallace is the living embodiment of that notion – he gets maximum excitement from even the quickest glance of Thomas the Tank Engine.
And now he has him right outside his bedroom window.
Wallace, 46, Carl Denny, 38 and Dylan Denley, 35 are best friends who have lived together for the past 12 years as part of an autism care program.
When they moved into their home in Christchurch’s Prestons subdivision about a year ago, the old letterbox blocked a parking space in the driveway.
John Denny, Carl Denny's father, saw it as an opportunity to do something nice for his son’s mate.
After embarking on a six-month project in his garage, John Denny produced a 30-kilogram steel, handmade replica of the popular fictional steam train.
From the street Thomas has the house number on it, but from the house and Wallace's view out his window, it has Thomas’ actual number from the TV show – one.
