Why not treat yourself to a bloke’s day out for a grooming WOF? Just be wary of the barbershop – between the bay rum oil, hot towels, banter, and leather chairs, you won’t want to leave!

Bevis, a resident at Ryman’s Anthony Wilding Village, recently received a gentleman’s makeover. The day began at the barbershop where Bevis and his barber Kohl shared plenty of laughs. Next up, a personal stylist helped Bevis select clothes he looked and felt great in. Being pampered isn’t the norm for Bevis but based on his smile, we’re confident he loved every minute.

The cistern needs attention: most of the time it works fine, but occasionally you need to jiggle the inlet valve to get it to fill, probably an easy fix for someone who knows what they are doing, we don't. The seat is a marked from over zealous cleaning but apart from that it flushes and works well. Includes overflow pipe as pictured. Right hand lower inlet. Has been thoroughly cleaned with disinfectant just needs Jiffing. Pick up in Sylvan Rd, Parkvale.

The launch last week went even better than we'd hoped. I'm over the moon.
I thought I'd drop by to let you know this week's episode, Location, Location, Location, is out now.
Just like the first one, it's packed with tips, advice and anecdotes from experts and home owners on every aspect of buying your first home. It also comes with a chance to win a $500 Resene prize pack.
In episode 2, we talk to a first time buyer who moved from one end of the country to the other for a chance to get on the ladder, hear about apartments as a viable first home option and an expert gives us some tips on how to choose the right lawyer.
We all know buying a home is one of the toughest, most daunting things we might ever do as adults, so it doesn't hurt to get some expert advice and support. That's what we wanted to give you with First Rung.
Give episode 2 a listen and let us know what you think - and I hope you're all in to win that crackin' prize pack!

Votes for Captain, who has one eye, rolled in from as far afield as Vietnam, Turkey, Costa Rica, Estonia, Trinidad and Tobago, and Venezuela.
Captain lives in the Napier aquarium’s rehabilitation centre after losing his right eye in an altercation with another sea bird.
Because of this he must be fed from his left side and wouldn’t survive in his natural habitat in the wild.
His girlfriend is Flip (who only has one flipper after being caught in fishing line) and they share a burrow..

Right now, she is working on Hastings District Council’s new Te Pōhue water treatment site. That project is part of the council’s Hastings Drinking Water Strategy, which includes upgrading all small community water supplies across the district.
The list of projects that Jury has worked on across Hawke’s Bay and beyond is impressive – she and her digger have helped build airstrips, dams, subdivisions, the Hastings-Napier expressway, and the region’s newest major road, Te Ara Kahikatea.
Her advice to young women who love being outdoors and are deciding on their career options is to think about heavy machinery operation.
“It is fantastic; I love every minute of it. There’s something special about driving over or looking at projects you’ve been involved in and feeling a real level of satisfaction.”

There appears to be a huge fire over by Karamu?
Hastings , Havelock North (except our house, by the looks of it) are in total blackout.
The orange glow is the fire and the black image is Hastings. I see 6 streetlights and I’m looking down over the bay.
