Depictions Exhibition - on now at the Odlin Gallery
Hi Everyone, I’ve recently joined a talented group of Lower Hutt artists who meet on Monday nights to paint. Our first exhibition of the year is currently on at the Odlin Gallery until 25 February – And it’s a good one! The Odlin Gallery is 9-11 Myrtle Street, next to Huia Pool, in Lower Hutt. Open daily, 10am to 4pm - free entry. I'm on Gallery minding on Saturday mornings during the exhibition if anyone wants to pop in to say hi, and invest heavily in beautifying your wall, or there is a beautiful selection of professionally hand-crafted cards for around $5 each for the more budget conscious. So, if you are out and about at the pool or visiting the Dowse, put the Odlin Gallery on your itinerary as well.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

What's your favourite tomato recipe?
