This cone was found blocking one of the wastewater pump stations in Porirua's CBD last week.
Not too sure how it got there... But our team managed to clear it from the pump station before any major damage was done. ?
In the past we've also found a pair of jeans, shampoo bottles, kids (and adults) toys, money, cellphones, pagers, and A LOT of wetwipes!

Some of the best scents in the garden are to be found in midwinter, usually from the likes of wintersweet and daphne.
But one highly fragrant and useful-for-so-many-purposes little shrub has slipped under the radar for far too long, says our Wairarapa columnist Kerry Carman.
If you have a Community Services Card, you can get free curtains through Pomare Taita Community Trust from Monday 11-Friday 22 June. Get info and an order form from the Centre early next week, take it home to measure your windows and fill it in, and bring it back before Friday, June 22.

Wellington Curtain Bank then makes the curtains to fit your windows, lining for extra warmth, and drops them back to the Pomare Taita Community Trust for you to take home and hang. Curtains can keep heat in, cold out and power bills down – a great way to get ready for winter. For more info head to the Pomare Taita Community Trust at 55 Farmer Crescent, Pomare, Lower Hutt, or call Wellington Curtain Bank on freephone 0508 78 78 24.

But this message needs some unpacking.
5:1, according to our research, is the ratio that couples must reach during a conflict. This prevents couples from being overwhelmed with negativity during an already difficult experience.
20:1, on the other hand, is the ratio you should meet every day. Twenty positive interactions for every single negative interaction!
Sounds hard, right? It isn't if you are attentive and intentional. Start scanning the horizon in your relationship for positive things to appreciate about your partner.
Then tell them. Show them. Be there for them and with them, and turn toward them again and again. That's how you hit 20:1.
