MetService have issued a Severe Weather Watch for the west and north of the North Island today - Thursday 2nd June.

There are expected squally thunderstorms alongside heavy rain and hail, as well as a possible small tornado. There is some risk that the thunderstorm will become severe with localised downpours of 25 to 35 mm/h, 110 km/h wind gusts, and the chance of a localised damaging tornado.

Low-lying areas such as streams, rivers or narrow valleys with this intensity of rainfall may cause flash flooding and/or slips. This will make the driving conditions hazardous with surface flooding and poor visibility due to the rain. Wind gusts of this strength, and damaging tornadoes can cause structural damage, including trees and power lines.

The weather watch is in place until 6pm tonight but any changes will be reported on the MetService website.

Always Fly Fishing jacket

Rosemary from Nawton

Jacket is brand new, never been used. Because it was stuffed in a drawer (I didn't know about it) for more than 5 years I can't sell it as brand new. I can't find any information on the brand online either. It definitely is quality gear.

Jacket is brand new, never been used. Because it was stuffed in a drawer (I didn't know about it) for more than 5 years I can't sell it as brand new. I can't find any information on the brand online either. It definitely is quality gear.

It is multi-pocketed, several are pockets within pockets and are sealed with Velcro. There is a window on the top right hand side to display the licence. The lower part of the jacket can be removed as can the sleeves, making it simply a vest. The hood can also be removed.

Size XL. It is quite a heavy jacket (about 2 kg) so I think only a big bloke could use it once it has all the accessories on board. My husband was a big man so it would have been ideal for him. Sadly, his fishing hobby was curtailed due to ill health and I am now trying to sort all his 'stuff'.

Price: $150

Billy T: Life and Times of Billy T James (book)

Paperback, 384 pages
Very good condition

Billy T James was a larger-than-life comedian who gave us some of our best belly laughs, creating enduring characters as he poked the borax at race relations in New Zealand. His characters were Kiwi through and through and we loved him for it.

When he died in his early forties, of complications following a heart transplant, we were shocked - first by his premature death, and then by one of the first highly publicised interracial body-snatching incidents.

His widow, Lynn Matthews, and a number of Billy's closest friends have cooperated with author Matt Elliott to tell the story behind the cheeky grin. The result is perceptive, poignant, funny and endearing - just like Billy T.
