Time swap - my PC training skills for your landscaping help
- I used to be a a IT instructor, teaching beginner to advanced. These days I enjoy using my PC about ten hours a day for all kinds of simple and complicated things.
- My gardens could do with an visually good upgrade of landscaping. I have a veg garden as well as flower beds and trees. Ordinary sized section. I've got rid of all the paspallum, which took me a year, reluctantly using weed killer, see brown area in picture. =)
- It's not at all important or urgent, and I can do it myself, I don't want to pay to do it (other than plants or other items).
- But I'd be willing to swap skills if someone who's a keen landscaper gardener, wants to learn how to use their PC and the internet better.
- Each hour of your time designing and/or doing the landscaping would negotiate one hour of my time enabling you to use your PC much better.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
