I am after an old surfboard to mosaic as an outdoor shower.
Require it to be at least 6'4" or longer.
If you have one, please message me.
Cheers

I've been teaching music for 28 years now and the longer I teach the more I realize that practice for kids under the age of 10 is not so important. I have seen so many cases where kids never practice and then by the time they are 10 or 11 they are playing very well.

I have seen so many cases where kids never practice and then by the time they are 10 or 11 they are playing very well.
One young man who I taught from the age of 8 to the age of 10 never practiced and was the slowest learner. I couldn't give up on him though, he had no dad and his mum use to ply me with tea and biscuits and tell me I was his greatest mentor. 7 years later I saw him play live ripping out a Metallica solo and he was absolutely shredding! His mum was there and after the performance she told me when he turned 13 he started playing non stop. The two years of lessons laid down a very solid foundation to build from.
I have many stories like this so please don't be too hard on the young ones and let them enjoy and express themselves at their own pace.

A big shout out to Karori, who managed to secure the suburb of the week title. Awesome work Karorians!
A relatively wet week last week meant that overall people around the region have been keeping demand below the 160 million litre per day (MLD) target which is awesome to see.

All this rain has been good for your gardens and our catchments, however just because it's raining doesn't mean we should stop conserving water.
Drinking water is a precious resource, so make sure you're not wasting it. If you're worried about your gardens and lawn not having enough water when the weather heats up, start collecting rain water now! Rain water is a great option to give your garden some extra love as we look to enter the warmer months.
Our top #waterlovers tip this week is turn the tap off when brushing your teeth! Don't let litres of our precious drinking resource pour straight down the drain.

Metlink spokeswoman Emily Liddell said the cause of the power outage along a portion of track in Kaiwharawhara, which is used by the train line, is unknown.
The power outage was first recorded at 7.30am on Tuesday. It had caused the Hutt Valley, Melling, and Wairarapa lines to also be suspended, but those services had now resumed.
However, commuters should expect delays as services returned to normal.
