People rent out baches, rooms in their houses, their garages and car parking spaces, so surely hiring out swimming pools is the next logical step.
A new app lets people hire their private pools by the hour, but it hasn't come to New Zealand - yet.

When a stack of rusty, dust-covered film cans was deposited with audiovisual archive, Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision by the family of freelance filmmaker Thomas H Whetton, it was a surprise to find much of the more than 80-year-old film inside those cans was in great condition. Amongst the 70+ cans the Archive’s preservation team discovered never-before-seen footage of the immediate aftermath of the 1931 Napier earthquake. This presentation takes you through the meticulous work Ngā Taonga did (and are still doing) to rescue that footage and the other taonga in the Whetton collection. The collection of Thomas Henry Whetton dating from the 1920s and 1930s is showcased in Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision’s Rust + Restoration | He Waikura He Whakauka exhibition currently on in the Te Puna Foundation Gallery at the National Library.

This is a white wood bed frame that is a little sad and sorry! Not perfect but looks good when together, however it does need some TLC. One of the slats is broken, needs support from underneath and I have no idea were the bolts are!
If you are handy and can work make this work, send me a message!… View moreThis is a white wood bed frame that is a little sad and sorry!

Hello neighbors, my name is Maximus. I recently got a new headset from my parents that I don’t need as I have just got another new one.
The one I would like to sell is brand new and unopened, has a 2 year warranty and retails at 160-170 depending on retailer so buying it at 120 or near offer … View moreHello neighbors, my name is Maximus.

Hi. If you have a spare kombucha scoby, I’d really appreciate one. (A mould got into my scoby hotel and I lost the lot.) Happy to pay and pickup (in WELLINGTON city).
Update: thanks for looking. It looks like I have a couple of great leads, which I’ll follow up first.

We're moving the fun around so it's indoors, or under shelter...everyone can still play heaps of games, eat delicious food, buy beautiful crafts and plants, find treasures in our book and toy rooms, enjoy local entertainment etc etc.
Sounds like a perfect outing on a (possibly) rainy day, and you don't have to worry about sunscreen 🤣
Can't wait to see you there!

The Minister for Seniors Tracey Martin has released the new strategy for our ageing population, Better Later Life – He Oranga Kaumātua 2019 to 2034.
Like the rest of the developed world, New Zealand has an ageing population. This means there are some things we must consider and prepare for as a country.
Better Later Life takes a fresh look at what is required to ensure New Zealand is a great place to age and achieve the vision of making sure older people lead valued, connecting and fulfilling lives.
The strategy's key areas for action will be used to guide the priorities of what needs to happen in our action plan.

The project team replacing the water pipe in Duncan Street needed to temporarily turn the water off to progress construction today.
Water was planned to be off between 10am - 2pm today, however the work is taking longer than planned, so water is expected to be on again at 4pm.
