So, I spent a weekend hitting the open homes and seeing what it's like to try to buy as a solo person. Folks, it's tough out there... As an older, single person, it's really tough. Take a look at how I found "the churn" and let me know how it compares to your experience.

"I am now looking for a pond. If I had company in the pond like another turtle, that's even better. I am quite grumpy for a turtle, so will need an experienced person to adopt me. If you have an amazing setup and are looking for a new family member, please get in touch with my caregivers."
Check out her listing at the Wellington SPCA.

UPDATE: MINI IS BACK
She came back this morning to much fanfare and delight, and a lot of noise, from her siblings and mum.
I don't know where she had been, but she is back safe and sound and I am so relieved.
A big thank you to everyone who has been keeping an eye out for her.

Our Mini is no longer missing!!!!
Mini is a 4 month old black (with bits of white on her neck) muscovy duck and has gone missing from our property on the corner of Raumati and Kiwi Roads.
She has never been off our property and would be very scared.
She could be enticed by a bit of lettuce though.
Mini is molting at the moment so looks a bit shabby. In the last photo, it's mainly of her sister who is her twin but with slightly different white markings on her neck.
If you see her, please message me here or call or txt on 0226781858.
Thank you.
Hi, I am desperately trying to find a mandarin tutor for my year 11 (next year) daughter. We live in Waikanae and would like to have the lessons out here in Kapiti if possible. Please contact me on 021 588812 if you are available from early next year.
