A recent news story highlighted the issue that not everyone in Porirua had got a new set of recycling bins, which raises the question: When is it okay to use your neighbour's bins? Is it really a big deal if the bin's not full? Do you care if people use your bin?

MetService issued a heavy rain watch for the Wellington region, stretching north to the Tararuas, until 9am Tuesday morning. It has issued a strong wind watch as gale southerlies are expected to develop on Monday afternoon, and wind gusts may approach 120 kilometres an hour in exposed parts.
A slip was blocking the left lane on State Highway 58, near the State Highway 2 interchange into Silverstream. A second slip was reported on Ohiro Road, with rocks and dirt falling on top of the hood of a parked Subaru.
The New Zealand Transport Agency advised drivers to pass with care and expect some delays.
FERRIES: Bluebridge cancelled its 2pm sailing from Picton and 1.30pm from Wellington due to the weather.

The kitchen is a popular place for families to gather but it’s also a popular home for bacteria. Most cases of food poisoning are picked up in the home rather than outside it, often as a result of poor food and kitchen hygiene. What can you do to prevent the spread of harmful bacteria?

Most cases of food poisoning are picked up in the home rather than outside it, often as a result of poor food and kitchen hygiene. What can you do to prevent the spread of harmful bacteria?
Here are some areas that need more cleaning care than others.
Hands
Your hands are one of the most frequent causes of cross contamination in the home. When using the kitchen be sure to wash hands before and after preparing food and before eating.
Cloths
Damp cloths allow bacteria to grow quickly, these can be spread throughout the kitchen when cloths or sponges are used elsewhere. Disposable cleaning cloths are ideal or decontaminate by soaking in antiseptic.
Worktops
Worktops and cutting boards can get contaminated with bacteria from raw food, salad or fruit and vegetables. Keep raw and ready to eat food separate, try using different coloured chopping boards for each. All surfaces should be cleaned and disinfected after use, and of course wash hands thoroughly afterwards.
Surfaces
You should clean surfaces regularly as they may be contaminated from contact with dirty hands that have picked up bacteria from raw foods. Consider; taps, internal surfaces of the fridge & freezer, stove, door knobs and drawer handles.
Sinks
Your sink may become contaminated if raw food is rinsed prior to meal preparation, and this applies to rinsing kitchen sponges and cleaning cloths. Sinks and surrounds should be regularly disinfected.
Rubbish
The rubbish bin is a cosy spot for germs to live. Use a bin with a lid to stop access by pets and pests and to reduce odours. Empty, clean and disinfect regularly, not forgetting to clean and disinfect the handles and lids.
