Did you have - or do you still have - a Waterbed? I hunted high and low for someone who still used one of the originals, but couldn't find a soul who'd own up to it.
What do you think about these wonderfully kitsch pieces of retro bedroom decor?

The visitor is the native Kowhai Moth Caterpillar, and it has been known to completely strip a Kowhai tree of all its foliage. Unless the tree is very young, in most cases there is little long-term damage to the tree. Nature is pretty awesome and the tree will soon produce masses of fresh new growth, but it might be a little unsightly for a few weeks.
Sometimes I will give the tree a good shake, and the little critters will just fall off and give the tree a reprieve. You can use neem oil if it’s proving to be a major problem, but don’t worry too much, Kowhai trees and the caterpillars have been living together for many years.
How much do you know about how a tree grows?

The Pukekohe line is the final section of the Auckland rail network that needs re-railing since KiwiRail began urgent work on the tracks in August, said KiwiRail chief operating officer Todd Moyle.
“We know train users on this line typically travel longer distances so we have planned our work for weekends and evenings to avoid interrupting their weekday travel plans.
“To maximise productivity for KiwiRail teams working on the line, freight trains will also not run on weekends during the day."
Trains resumed running on the Eastern line this week after a two-week closure to replace worn rail track and sleepers.
Rail replacement work between Swanson and Papakura has been brought to fruition meaning trains can return to their 10-minute frequencies during peak times across the Auckland network.
Staff are working at night to de-stress the new rail and carry out other finishing work to avoid impacting daytime services.

Thank you all so much for all the amazing furniture donations we received in the last couple of weeks. Unfortunately, we are struggling with moving them around as we have an old lightweight flat trolley that isn’t designed for what we put it through.
Is there anyone out there who has a FURNITURE TROLLEY and would be willing to donate it to the shop that we can Relove?
I’ll add a picture of the kind we dream of and keep my fingers crossed. Just leave a comment below or message us. Many thanks and have a great long weekend!
