Gratitude
I recently put a request for help on this site and quickly received responses from a few people.
One such suggestion worked and has relieved me of a good deal of stress, so thank you Paul.
Also thanks to the other respondants and also a great thanks to Neigbourly for this opportunity.
It is heartening (in these troublesome times) to know that we can rely on the good nature of many people if we are prepared to ask for it.
We do often hear of some poor behaviour from people on social media and news channels but there are very many more examples of people helping others so lets not forget it.
Merry Christmas to all who read this.
Cheers Ian

Do you think this ban is reasonable?

It's outrageous that the Wellington City Council are going to demolish the Begonia house at the Botanic gardens. This is an asset. One would have thought the green faction of the council would have supported fixing it. It's strange no one has questioned the price required to fix it. Cycle ways more important than begonia house i think not
