Still runs well. One clip in the hose that goes in the side to vent is broken off and the hose itself has some holes (bloody cat pouncing on it) but it still stays in with the other 2 clips.

One clip in the hose that goes in the side to vent is broken off and the hose itself has some holes (bloody cat pouncing on it) but it still stays in with the other 2 clips. Currently set for left side venting (as you look at it) but can be changed to rear or right - a matter of moving the hose inside the body (easily done). Have the original manual as well.
MUST BE COLLECTED - we have no way of moving it.

Another wonderful image from Simon Woolf. It was taken on the Kāpiti Coast.

"This bird is believe it, or not, I believe is Black Tern! "The Black Tern is one of four marsh tern species found worldwide and the rarest in New Zealand, with one accepted sighting north of Wellington in 2022. When breeding it is a small black tern with grey wings. It is pale in non-breeding plumage (as was the only local record).
Like the closely related white-winged black tern, the black tern can be found in a range of freshwater and estuarine habitats. The nominate form breeds in Eurasia, migrating to Africa to winter, while the North America subspecies migrates to Central and South America" We now have at least three birds in New Zealand, as I spotted three individual birds with the flock of White Fronted Terns. So rare in NZ. Very rapt, and a great find."

What are the worst streets in our city for larger vehicles?

Editor Reporter from The Post

A truck stuck got stuck a narrow Wellington road this week - and it is not the first big-wheeled victim of the capital’s tight thoroughfares.

Some Wellington streets are more likely than others to collect wedged buses and trucks, with one resident saying in 2016 that a stuck bus was a … View more
