Canon printer/ink up for grabs

Peter from Kamo

My Canon MP970 printer appears to have kicked the bucket - I am not entirely sure, it may be the fault of a no-name black cartridge I put in there (my bad!), but it no longer prints right.
I am willing to give this to someone who wants to have a play - spend on a canon #5 black cartridge and see … View more
My Canon MP970 printer appears to have kicked the bucket - I am not entirely sure, it may be the fault of a no-name black cartridge I put in there (my bad!), but it no longer prints right.
I am willing to give this to someone who wants to have a play - spend on a canon #5 black cartridge and see if that fixes it - uncertain outcome.
Or get it fixed ... it was a very good printer working off a network router lan cable or usb.
I have 8 photo quality colour cartridges (#8) in there -- free to a good home if nobody wants the printer.

Looking for recommendations I have a small stream I have planted in a lovely garden but a wandering jew plant has covered everything. Underneath the wandering Tradescantia plant is a lovely garden.
This is on a bit of a bank so I need somebody to remove the wandering jew plant they would start at the bottom standing in the stream pulling the wandering jew plant down and removing it I have an eel and fish in the stream they must be treated with respect.
As the wandering jew plant is removed, and the garden revealed other items will need trimming.

I have a disability and it is so overgrown I can not get out there to see what else needs doing

The vegetation would need to be removed from the site or I may get a garden bin in.

His owner's heart is breaking -
I miss you "Monkey". Your Mum misses you.
And your Trout misses you.
Every morning for the last 78 days the three of us have had to put the mask on.
The mask of a happy face, with a big smile on it, just to pretend all is normal and nothing has changed.
But let me tell you one thing Skoota, there is so much sadness that like tonight it is even hard to start writing something.
Tonight "Monkey" I am your dad, she is you mum, he is your brother. Tonight we are scared.
Tonight we are still looking for answers and we don't get them.
Tonight again we hope for a miracle, a sign, a voice with a real answer.
We are scared for you. For us three it is easier as we stick together, hug together and cry together.
We are scared as you are probably on your own.
Tonight we don't understand and you probably don't understand.
But we are still here for you, the door remains open as closing it would be starting to give up on you. We will not.
Skoota tonight we are scared for you.
0212113462/0276287848

Please - If you see someone with a new friend (Skoota) - please get him back to his family by calling the numbers above. This is so SAD.

Hi Neighbour,

Fire WARNING

🔥🔥Fire Season change for Te Tai Tokerau🔥🔥

🔥🔥Fire Season change for Te Tai Tokerau🔥🔥
All of the Northland District is moving to a restricted fire season, except for the area north of Awanui to Cape Reinga and the Karikari Peninsula (that are year round in a restricted fire season) which will move to a prohibited fire season.
The change took place 8am Wednesday 12 January.

A restricted fire season means a permit will be required to light an open-air fire. If you need to apply for a permit, please use the ‘can I light a fire’ tool on www.checkitsalright.nz...

For the area north of Awanui to Cape Reinga and the Karikari Peninsula, a prohibited fire season means no open-air fires can be lit within the coverage area, and permits to light fires will not be issued.

Fire and Emergency continues to respond to the vegetation fire at Waiharara in the Far North, which started on 18 December 2021. This is requiring a significant operational response from across the Northland District and the rest of the country.

District Manager, Wipari Henwood says Northland’s dry and windy forecast this summer has increased fire risk. "We know that there is a higher risk for large, uncontrolled fires to be established in Northland in these conditions. If it’s hot and windy, please don’t light a fire."
