Raewyn from Awapuni
On Saturday around 9.30pm I saw a bunny bounding across Rugby Street, near the shops, into the gap that leads to Awapuni Park. I have put this on Manawatu Lost & Found Pets too. Sorry I didn't take any notice of colour. Good luck if its someone's pet.

I have had the privilege of responding to and meeting John Harding and I would like to share my experience of his situation.
John is a high functioning, fully present independent senior gentleman who has lived his life serving others. Sadly as for a lot of us as he has journeyed through life and is now navigating his senior years his body is not what it once was. This dear man has made several pleas for assistance on this community site for help the last of which was for someone perhaps a young fellow who would like to earn some Money to put his bin out.
I felt really sad that in large the responses were from people with seemingly good ideas of who he should approach and or questioning the validity of what he was saying. Perhaps it is not for us to question but rather just to simply consider here is a man with a need and lets just show up and assist with that need. Maybe it's possible to consider John isn't broken and in need of fixing he just needs someone to put his bin out. Just a thought. Since John's pleas for help he has had the additional trauma of loosing his 98 year old Father whom he had come back to Palmerston North to care for. Spare a kind word or a message of encouragement and support for John today. Thankyou.

I've been admiring living walls and hanging gardens for some time now, and decided to create an achievable small-scale version to house small pots and fresh herbs in my kitchen. These shelves are affordable and easy to make, and ideal for apartments and smaller homes without much garden space.
For this project you will need:
• 1 length of untreated pine 20mm thick and 120mm wide
• Hand saw or skill saw, sandpaper
• Drill with 72mm hole saw drill bit and 7.5mm drill bit (for 7mm rope)
• 9 x 9cm terracotta pots
• White synthetic general purpose rope 7mm x 10m, 8 x white plastic cable ties
• Resene Colorwood Whitewash, speed brush or synthetic paintbrush
• Various herbs or small plants
Step one: Cut your length of pine into three pieces, each 600mm long. You can do this with either a hand saw or a skill saw. Once cut, give them a sand.
Step two: Measure out the placement of your holes that will hold the terracotta pots. I spaced mine out at 150mm centres. Repeat these markings for all three lengths of timber.
Step three: Using a drill with a hole saw attachment, cut out 72mm (D) sized holes to fit your terracotta pots. I practised first on a spare cut of timber I had lying around, to make sure that the hole I was drilling was the right size. For my 9cm pots, I found that 72mm ensured a good fit. Tidy up each hole with a light sand.
Step four: Now you need to cut the holes for your rope. Measure in 20mm from each corner and mark your drilling spot. Use a 7.5mm drill bit to make one hole in each corner (the size drill bit you use will depend on the thickness of the rope you are using to hang your shelves – adjust accordingly). Repeat for all three lengths of timber.
Step five: To achieve a fresh, clean look I used Resene Colorwood Whitewash interior wood stain. There are lots of colours to choose from, so you could pick whichever best suits the timber you are using and where the finished project will be hanging. I applied two coats of Whitewash using a speed brush, or synthetic brush.
Step six: Cut your rope into four equal lengths and thread each length through the corner holes of your shelves starting from the bottom. Tie each length of rope into a knot on the underside of the bottom shelf, so the bottom shelf rests on these knots.
Step seven: Adjust the placement of your shelves until you get them evenly spaced. Make sure you allow room for the pots to sit in the shelves, and room for your plants to grow of course. I spaced my shelves at 200mm apart. Secure the undersides of your remaining shelves with cable ties, they are a good solution because they aren't hugely visible and they don't budge. Trim the long ends of the cable ties once in place.
Step eight: Add your pots and plants, and hang in your chosen spot. Make sure that you use hooks that can safely take the weight of your shelves.
