Finest german porcelain bought in the 1980's but still available new. Gracious styling made for Christmas Day and special events. My daughter has different taste and I've been carting it around hoping for a change of mind.
Pricing is difficult but I think $600 negotiable.

Photos don't do it justice. Its a creamy white base colour
One of the last pieces in Kaiapoi's riverside revamp is now in place, with a huge floating pontoon lifted into position.
The 111-metre-long pontoon made of concrete with a polystyrene core was lifted onto the water in 11 separate pieces with a 90-tonne crane over two days last week.

Also on the weekend I read about Stuff’s project where they contacted every candidate in every council race to ask a series of questions about climate change. Stuff also asked them all for a short position statement on climate change issues. (Found at interactives.stuff.co.nz...)
I was disappointed to discover that some of the candidates in my district have not yet responded, or perhaps have no intention of responding, to the ten questions posed to them. We all have a range of views about climate change and possible council actions. I didn’t agree with some of the responses, including that of the candidate who answered ‘no’ to the first question: “The climate is warming as a direct consequence of human actions.”
But I commend that candidate for having the gumption to be honest to the voters.
To simplify my voting choices I’ve crossed out the names of all the candidates who did not respond to the survey.
The climate change issue is divisive and maybe the candidates who did not respond were worried that expressing a point of view may lose them some votes. Or perhaps they were too busy doing other things, such as putting up more signs asking for our votes. That’s not the type of person I want to be an elected representative of my community.
I would prefer to vote for that candidate who answered ‘no’, than to vote for someone who chooses to keep silent over an important issue.
Now is a great time to check fire alarm batteries and make sure emergency supplies are well stocked and up to date.

Good morning, before I Head out to look for a new Motorbike I’m wondering if anyone is selling or upgrading soon? I’m looking at getting a 50Cc Motorbike 4 wheeler, in good condition for a little lad. Thank you
Christchurch's long-awaited metro sports facility is starting to take shape.
Due to open in late 2021, it'll have a 10-lane pool with 1000 seats for spectators, a diving pool, five hydroslides, indoor courts for various sports, and several other training facilities.

What do you think about this huge investment for Christchurch? Will you use the facility?

Bony-toothed birds (Pelagornithids), an ancient family of huge seafaring birds, were thought to have evolved in the Northern Hemisphere, until the discovery of the family's oldest but smallest member in New Zealand.
Amateur palaeontologist Leigh Love discovered the partial Protodontopteryx skeleton at the Waipara Greensand fossil site - the same area where he found evidence of a 1.6 metre-high giant penguin in 2018.
It's that time again! Daylight saving is this weekend. So don't forget - clocks spring forward one hour this Sunday morning. #theregoesthesleepin

More than 6 cups saucers and plates. 3 different size meat servers, 2 vegetable tureens, mik jugs, sweet dishes, gravy boats. Also a lot of pieces that aren't perfect thrown in. Too many good and not so good pieces to provide images for. It was my Nana's but my offspring don't want it. I'm open to offers.

Canterbury drivers overestimate their ability and think other road users are the problem, new research shows.
A total of 1460 people from Kaikōura to Waitaki, including 497 from Christchurch, completed an online survey about their driving habits.
Findings showed 42 per cent rated their own driving ability as above average. The same group considered 73 per cent of other drivers to be only average drivers.
