Oak Trees Desperate for Water

Brenda from Twyford

Hi Everyone.
If you travel along Omahu Road during the week, you may notice that several of the young Oak Trees planted by the Council are in desperate need of a drink. Especially the ones at the Fernhill end - between the State Highway 50 turnoff and RioFab (Sheet metal business).
For years now… View more
Hi Everyone.
If you travel along Omahu Road during the week, you may notice that several of the young Oak Trees planted by the Council are in desperate need of a drink. Especially the ones at the Fernhill end - between the State Highway 50 turnoff and RioFab (Sheet metal business).
For years now my husband and I have been taking big containers of water with us every time we go out in summer, and watering them. But we don't go out often enough now to make a huge difference.
It would be wonderful if a few more people did this, and helped keep them alive and growing. Our/your rates paid for them to go in and it would be a shame if we lost them.
It's not a huge task but would make a big difference if some of you could do this too.
A word of warning though, make sure you pull well off the road before getting out of your vehicle along Omahu Road. We don't want any accidents!
Hopefully thanking your in advance :)

Tui in the garden

Mike Hicks Contracting limited

Tui have almost-black heads, underparts, wings and tails that have an iridescent blue and green sheen, especially on the head and wings.

The upper back and flanks are dark reddish brown with a bronze sheen, the nape and sides of the neck have filamentous white feathers, and there are two unusual curled white feather tufts on the throat (poi). Small white shoulder patches on the upperwing show prominently in flight, but are usually concealed when perched.
Their preferred diet is nectar and honeydew, and they will often shift to, or commute daily or more frequently to, good nectar sources, such as stands of puriri, kowhai, fuchsia, rewarewa, flax, rata, pohutukawa, gums and banksias.
Tui are beautiful in your garden and you can easily bring them "home" to your place by setting up feeding stands. We feed "our" Tui with sugared water and every day we get to enjoy how beautiful they are.
What birds do you have in your garden?

New version of Internet scam call

Now the caller claims to be calling from "Spark" Technical Department. Same story line though - your computer's security has been compromised, somebody has hijacked your internet connection, and they will connect with your computer remotely to fix it for you.

The other variation is that they now spoof a local number so that it no longer looks like an overseas call. Each time my caller display has shown an 06 prefix number.

If you are not connected with Spark and you tell them that they explain that Spark are the "mother internet provider for New Zealand"!

The best response is to simply hang up, but as I have just had my third call from them in two days the devil gets the better of me, and as I have the time to do so I lead them on and have a bit of fun with them before telling them what they are.

Is anyone know of anyone that is moving and would have room to transport queen innersprung mattress. Head and tail board. I rest are slates. Or if you know of a company that charges reasonable rates I would love to know. Thanks
