Dog walkers take care: Fur seal pups about
There are seal pups hanging out on beaches again, so if you're taking your dogs to the beach please keep them close or on a leash. Saw a seal pup being mauled by two dogs on Back Beach yesterday - not a pretty site.
The pups are well camouflaged, often just look like rocks or driftwood until you get quite close. (The photo is of the pup mellowing out before the attack: can you see it?) Even if you do recognise them, you may think they're dead when they're not - they often seem to nap while their mum's are out fishing.
People are also welcome to report sightings here: www.hotspot.org.nz...
Thanks!

Looking for someone reasonable to provide a quote to fix a Panasonic heat pump that a) leaks a little when on cool mode and b) doesn’t heat.
Appreciate all your recommendations

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
