Peter is helping us out with something that nearly everyone can relate to – dealing with the unsorted photos taking up space on your phone or languishing in boxes in your home.

“Without fail, when I give a talk about getting organised, I’m always asked how to deal with photos,” says Peter.
Boxes of unsorted photos can feel overwhelming to organise so they often get left for many years to clutter up our houses. In addition to this, most of us have smartphones that make it easy to take photos anywhere, so pretty soon our digital photo life becomes cluttered too.

So that the Hurricanes franchise has suffered hundreds of thousands of dollars losses year after year of late, is due in part to a lack of newsworthy publicity and promotion on the part of the The Post.
Let's take last weekend's Hurricanes pre-season clash with the Highlanders in Dunedin. No build up to this televised contest The one review in The Post did not mention a single Hurricanes player or coach in the entire text.
That the Hurricanes are playing only two pre-competition matches while the other franchises are playing three or four is probably due to financial constraints.
Shame on The Post. But one must admit its days are numbered as a daily newspaper and worthy of being the metropolitan newspaper of Greater Wellington and the newspaper that succeeded The Dominion and Evening Post that one would buy in Nelson, Taupo, Napier and New Plymouth.
It has to be said that the Wellington Phoenix men and women football teams fare (a little) better in coverage in the sports pages of The Post.
Still no go.
If someone would like to email me @ keithrdavis@outlook dot com I will reply with the attachment.
Sorry folks but I have been off the scene for a few days. Old age catching up. 91 and 69 yrs married and still a bit in the tank. Shirley about the same.
