On Tuesday, the 25th of April we commemorate all Australians and New Zealanders who have served and died for their country. But it's also an opportunity to connect and share stories about your ancestors. What does Anzac Day mean to you?

I have here a large carton full of computer cords and who knows what else.
It would suit a computer buff who would know what they are all for.
I know there is quite a length of computer cable in there because it is labelled.

I know there is quite a length of computer cable in there because it is labelled.
Offers. You are welcome to come and have a look and see if there is stuff there you could use. Tip it out and you will know what it all is. It was my son's domain. He is now living in London using his computer skills to good advantage. He wanted to work with computers since he was 5 years of age when he first saw one.
Offers, as I have no idea what it all is.
I am Situated in Kuripuni
Thanks for looking.
This hammock has been in storage for a few years. It has scarcely been used. Time to move it on.
Quality construction and one should feel safe in it.
Pickup is in Kuripuni

Booktown celebrates books, storytelling and ideas, and the artefact and craft of the book.
The word is getting out about this year’s rich line-up of events in our South Wairarapa town and already some events are sold out.
There’s so much to choose from – there's sure to be something to tempt you. How about a selection of horror stories told late at night, or learn how to write your family’s history, or even a session devoted to pets, our adored fur babies.
Kids can do some print and paper making, or turn a poem into prompt journal (8 years and older) with Emma Hinton. Carol Duffy has a free book reading where kids can make native bird stick puppets that are part of the story.
Tell your friends and make a date to head to a Booktown event and be educated, inspired and entertained.
Featherston Booktown Karukatea Festival – 51 events, 89 presenters and literary top-liners, along with 25 booksellers.
Friday 12 to Sunday 14 May 2023.
Find out about the packed programme here. Book your tickets online or at Martinborough or Masterton i-SITEs.

Your roll of gold paper which you paid for many months ago is still here at my back door for you to pick up.
I hope you are well.
My contact number is 0211340144.
Im sorry but the thread we contacted on has dropped off the end of Neighbourly's records so I cant text you directly.
Both as new - used once. Lanza (left, 2.17kg) and IT Luggage (right, 1.85kg). Both are airline carry-on, with wheels and collapsible pull-along handles. $45 each. Pick up in Martinborough.
"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."
From the poem 'For the fallen' by Laurence Binyon
The Cancer Society has partnered with 9 skydive companies across Aotearoa to offer you a free skydive when you raise $1000.
You can sign up as an individual, or as team, such as a workplace. Regardless, each person must raise $1000 or more to qualify for a free jump.

You can sign up as an individual, or as team, such as a workplace. Regardless, each person must raise $1000 or more to qualify for a free jump.
When you sign up you'll get to choose where you jump and which region you'd like your funds to go to - these don't have to be the same, they could be at opposite ends of the country.
If you don't know where you want to jump yet, that's absolutely fine. Your local Cancer Society team can talk you through your options and help you pick the jump site that's right for you.
Stop hesitating, go on, sign up now!
Okay, it is not Friday but this picture by Rosa Marie is too good not to use.

You deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about power bills.
Warmer Kiwi Homes is a government grant that offers 80% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.
And you may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.

This mat is in sound condition. It measures 220 by 160, quality cut pile and edges are bound.
Primary colour is red.
Depending on what you want to use it for it would be fine as is but a little freshen up would make it almost as new.

In the photo it looks wrinkled by I had just unrolled it and a vaccum or lying flat for a while will smooth it out.
It comes from a smoke free home and been in dry storage for a few years. Time to move it on.

These two tyre tubes are taking up room. My teenage sons used them for floating down the river.
They are free if anyone would like them.

This thick durable flexible plastic I have kept thinking that it would be good for a garden edge between lawn and shingle driveway. The piece with the red stripe is what is laid on top of power cables to indicate there is cables underneath.
