When we arrived home from the Liquid laundromat in Berhampore we found a key tangled in our washing. Please let me know if it is yours or you know who it belongs to. Looks like a scooter or locker key. Will drop it off to the dairy that runs the laundromat tomorrow.

It was my third visit and I can thoroughly recommend it, it's like a combination of massage and firm acupressure bringing immediate relief as Andre explains everything to you while it's happening. It costs $60 for one hour and you get sent home with special healing herbal patches on your body. It's really fantastic, well worth the money. Andre's number is: 027 353 9742.

Got an opinion on fireworks? Share it with us

Georgia Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

Is it time to ban the private sale of fireworks in favour of public displays only? Or is Guy Fawkes just a bit of flammable fun?

Would you like to see tighter restrictions on fireworks or are you a sparkler fiend who sees no problem with celebrating safely at home?

After their critically acclaimed debut production of “Don Giovanni” in 2016 and “The Marriage of Figaro” in 2017, Eternity Opera is returning with Puccini’s 1903 masterpiece Madam Butterfly.

“Madam Butterfly” follows a beautifully traced arc for the title character, from the young bride who renounces her religion to embrace all things American to the strong young mother who returns to her culture and the code of honor that governs her tragic destiny. With gorgeous period costumes and designs, and featuring much of Puccini’s most lyrical music, including the Humming Chorus, Flower Duet, the stunning aria in “Un bel dì,” and a spine-tingling climax.

Performed in English by a lineup of top New Zealand singers, this will be directed by Alex Galvin and conducted by Matthew Ross, with support from the Eternity Chamber Orchestra.
