Hi all avocado lovers
Two very keen 18-year-olds are off to Turlough Hill orchard, Katikati, this weekend to rescue the ‘ugly’ avos and bring them back to Wellington. They will be selling them from Mon next week. I’ll post more about where and when and how much but wanted to let you know they’re coming! They’re not perfect and will be a mix of sizes but are good fruit and will be well priced.
PM me if you want to know more or would like to order 20 or more. Otherwise, I’ll let you know where the Ute will be parked up once we have a plan!
Please share amongst your networks too.
Hello neighbours,
My phone died and I'm in need of a new one. I don't want to buy a new one as I always try to buy second-hand. I also don't really care what it looks like as long as it performs basic functions hehe.
Does anyone have a spare phone that they are willing to sell?

Noise is a daily occurrence that we all endure to a certain degree from noisy kettles, screaming children, loud TVs and the deafening thud of a bass. There’s sometimes little peace in ones day. Ongoing excessive noise is not only aggravating it can actually be harmful to your ears and has a significant impact on the way our spaces work in the home.
When it comes to residential design, the acoustics, (the way in which the structural characteristics of a space relate to how well sound can be heard) although a key design feature, are rarely considered during the building process and sometimes only tackled during a renovation.
Soundwaves seep through doors, windows, ceilings and cracks, so how do you reduce unwanted sound from affecting your day to day activities?
Hard flat surfaces tend to bounce sound waves around, sometimes creating a lasting echo effect if the surfaces are parallel walls. The softer and less uniform the surface, the less opportunity sound has to bounce off. Textiles, including drapery and upholstered furniture and furnishings not only deliver a design aesthetic they also play a significant role in the absorption of sound.
However not all textiles have equal sound absorption qualities however. The level of sound absorption is dependent upon a textile’s weight, composition, and/or construction. Generally (due to the large vertical mass) drapery provides the main textile source of sound absorption however, there are several other ways to achieve this.

So, I spent a weekend hitting the open homes and seeing what it's like to try to buy as a solo person. Folks, it's tough out there... As an older, single person, it's really tough. Take a look at how I found "the churn" and let me know how it compares to your experience.
