Futon bed, wooden slat base that is usually a couch but extends to a Queen sized bed.

We've had it for a while and it's in pretty good condition, we've always kept it covered. It's also got the added bonus of being super comfy!!

We have a smoke free house and even though we have a dog he never lies on there and never stays in that room.

We no longer need it as we're re-jigging spaces.

Pick up from Brooklyn.

Extended: 1500mm wide x 2150mm long (it's meant to have a missing slat as that is where the frame folds)

Folded: 1500mm wide x 720mm high x 1050 deep (front to back)

Price: $300

Friday Feathered Friend

Our Friday Feathered Friend for Christmas Day is this beautiful tīeke, photographed by Louise Thomas.

"Just back from a week-long birding trip to Whanganui, New Plymouth, and Mt Ruapehu. We took the opportunity to visit Bushy Park, the predator-fenced sanctuary in Whanganui. We had got out of the car and were reading the signs for the tracks and types of birds. In my normal over exuberant fashion I said to my husband and adult kids that I would die happy if I saw a saddleback. We were five metres into the first track when four of them flew up the path chasing each other and almost took my head off.
My daughter asked if I'd like to end myself now, or wait a bit in case I saw some other cool birds. I was a bit upset at first as I thought they might be the only saddlebacks I would see and I didn't get a photo. Turns out there are quite a few there. I will definitely be visiting again. Saddleback/tīeke (Philesturnus rufusater)."

On behalf of the Greater Brooklyn Residents association we warmly wish you all a safe, relaxing and happy Christmas and festive time. And that you stay safe as we want to engage with you in 2021. Especially in the water and especially around our southern coast.

And we are well looked after by our emergency services - in particular the Police Marine section active today rescuing a kayaker off the south coast...


"Maritime rescue at Red Rocks "

A person was rescued today today by the Police Maritime Unit on board the Lady Elizabeth IV after being swept out to sea in a kayak by wind and a strong current.

They had launched their kayak at Red Rocks and intended on fishing close to shore, however shortly after their kayak capsized a few hundred metres offshore.

They were swept further out to sea by strong local currents before they managed to get back on the kayak.

When they tried to paddle back to shore, the 25-knot offshore wind prevented them making any headway.

They then capsized again but managed to deploy the anchor to stop them being swept further out to sea.

They lost their handheld VHF during the capsize and crawled onto the upturned kayak.

Their cell phone was protected by a waterproof bag, but they were unable to call for help as there was no coverage in the area.

To top it off their life jacket had promptly deflated.

Luckily a keen-eyed person on top of the hills noticed them struggling in the water and called Police.

A mayday was broadcast and the Bluebridge ferry ‘Straitsman’ helped Police by stopping mid journey to assist with locating the person.

They were pulled from the water by Police at about 3pm.

Senior Constable Kyle Smith of the Wellington Maritime Unit says things could have easily ended differently.

“Although the man had enough equipment for his undertaking, a number of things went wrong leaving it up to chance that he was rescued today.

“Police would like to remind people not to underestimate the weather forecast, check your equipment is working and always let someone know what your plans are.”

Hi Neighbourly folk, I really enjoyed this post from Simon Woolf with its beautiful image and lovely words. I hope you all enjoy Christmas.

"Merry Christmas Eve Everyone.
This image is of possibly the Southern most Pohutakawa in the North Island. It is the third year since I noticed it, shortly after we lost our great friend Eva McGauley. It didn't flower last year!
It is located in one of the most exposed places, anywhere in Aotearoa New Zealand! Wellington's South Coast can be one of the most rugged, extreme environments anywhere in the world, and especially when an Antarctic blast hits Cook Strait. Winds exceeding 200kph, eight to 10 metre swells, and a sub zero wind chill factor are regular occurrences in this area.
Evie's Tree, for that's what we have called it, symbolises resilience, hope, strength and beauty, everthing Evie was.
After the past year, where we all have come through some adversity, Evie's Tree, proves that with adversity there is opportunity. If this stunning little pohutakawa can flower in the conditions it faces, we too can overcome most of which is thrown at us, and flourish too."

Meet Dimple.

"Hi my name is Dimple and I have been in foster care while the canine team got to know me. I have come from a very difficult background, so I am looking for a very special home, without children, other dogs or small animals. I can be very wary of people and take time to bond with them, but once bonded I can be very smoochy. I can be very reactive while on a walk so will need a home that has experience with reactive dogs and will teach me through positive reinforcement that not everything is scary.
My foster mum has done a lot of work in socialising me with other dogs but I still have a long way to go. I am not keen on visiting dog parks or similar environments. I can be very affectionate, fun and quite the character once I'm comfortable in my space. I am toilet trained, and I do come with a medical waiver that my new home would be made aware of. If you are keen for a dog who you can put in the extra work with training then contact the canine team to learn more about me and set up a meeting if you seem like a good match!"
