Unwanted computer technician calls

Charlotte from Khandallah

Several more calls this week - the latest this afternoon was a technician (unsure of gender) who said he/she was from a company in Auckland and my computer had a fault. I just acted dumb and stupid this time - on and on I went - in the end it said I should find and take my my pills!

The Linden Bridge was reopened yesterday after detailed investigations confirmed it could be kept open while further strengthening is undertaken.

Since Christmas, Greater Wellington Regional Council engineers have been investigating the strength of the bridge, as well as ground conditions.

Due to the nature of the investigation and the timeframes required to process permits and find appropriate times to enter the live rail corridor, it has taken several months to be able to gather this information safely.

Yesterday Greater Wellington received a report saying the bridge was safe to be reopened to the public, however additional strengthening efforts will be ongoing. It is expected the bridge can remain open through the majority of these works.

Greater Wellington thanks the pubic for their patience while the bridge was closed.

I am an experienced dog and cat lover who owns my very own animals (my dog and two cats made the long trip with us to NZ from SA). In South Africa I own and ran a very successful animal welfare who specializes in Power breeds so I am confident with any breed of dog. We have over 40 Pitbull’s in our care. Outside of my welfare work at Pit Pals, I worked for other welfare’s previously (one with over 450 dogs), I have walked many many dogs in my time working in welfare and would love to be able to offer my services here. I am currently running a launch special. Book a 30 min dog walk for $25 and I’ll keep your dog out for an hour at no additional charge. I am happy to walk your dog on leash or if your dog has a good recall, your dog and I can work on going on off leash adventures too. All in all I just love animals and spending my time with them.

I also offer in pet care for cats, dogs, kittens and puppies. I can go to your home and give them extra cuddles, refresh food and water bowls and clean up any oopsies they might have made in the house. I charge $25 for a half hour home visit, if you want me to go twice in one day it’s $45 and for three visits of each 30 mins long I charge $60.

I also offer pet transportation (dogs are secured in a harness with seatbelt attached and cats in cleaned and disinfected cat carriers). If you need your dog or cat dropped at the vet for an operation or need me to hang around while your furry friend gets their annual vaccinations. I can do that too.

Sorry for the very long post 😁. You can call or text on 02108590740 or email me on allaboutpets@xtra.co.nz. I have attached a few pics of me with some of the dogs I have spent time with.

There are no wicks in it at present and I have not tried it out myself. 3 Small brass lamp implements are hanging from the lamp, which is 53 cm high. The brass could be improved further by polishing. A very decorative item.
