cooling off
Its been hot!
Even the cat Charlie is feeling the heat lately and I must confess to having quite a few dips in the pool inbetween jobs
My fav part of the garden these past two weeks is the COOL bush walk thats almost finished. Lime rock edging, bark path and timber uprights on the steps. Plus a chain and post handrail.
What do you think?
Great for a hillside where you have lots of trees but no real access to use for you and your family
PLUS its so lovely and cool in the middle of the day and the birdsong is awesome
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)

Cleaning a heat pump
Hi everyone. Can anyone recommend a reliable and reasonable company to clean our heat pump. We used it on cold for a couple of days and when turning it back to warm it has a smell. We get it serviced yearly but the firm we use is expensive.
