What's your opinion on dog-friendly businesses?
The number of dog friendly businesses in the Canterbury region are on the rise with over 30 cafes allowing dog owners to dine with their canines.
The decision is the business owner’s rather than council's, and the only requirement is dogs must be at least three metres away from the kitchen.
You can find the full list of dog-friendly businesses by clicking 'Read more'.

Does anyone remember them from their childhood? These strange slots allowed you to rid yourself of an old razor and never think of it again...but it also meant, years down the track, that someone renovating would be in for a nasty, rusty surprise.
I'm certain I've seen something like this here in Aotearoa-NZ, but can't for the life of me recall where. It was in the back of the medicine cupboard. Let us know if you've seen, had - or have - one in your home.

Epidemiologist Dr Michael Baker said the next six months would be a “very dangerous” time for the country with a high risk of an outbreak while waiting for the vaccine roll-out in April.
Do you think scanning should be mandatory at pubs, nightclubs, etc?

The great kiwi deck, every home should have one. But there's a decking debate raging in DIY and Reno circles: Should the grooves go up or down?
We think we've settled the argument here.
We have had this for many years, Home made and very very useful. Great for carting wood for the fire, gardening, lawns, just a general work horse. Pneumatic Wheels, Self steering wheel, treated ply body.
Width 805mm, 1.230mm long, Deep 250mm, Ground up to top 780mm

I got a phone call (kiwi voice), said they were the bank and someone had drawn out $1500.00 on my credit card. Would I please push 1. In doing so a man came on the line and repeated what the woman told me. He then asked me the balance on my credit card, as I was sitting at the computer doing banking and could see nothing pending I smelt a rat so I told him $2.00, he then swore at me and hung up. The number was 00006143847293. They are at it again, Kiwi style. BE CAREFUL!!!!! Bank accounts not computers, Kiwi voices not foreigners.

Starting a conversation about care isn’t always easy but like many things, sometimes you just need to take the first step.
To help nurture those conversations, we invite you to our Care Centre Open Days at your local Ryman village. A tour will give you first-hand experience of our village communities and the exceptional care we provide. Care options include the extra support of a serviced apartment, resthome, hospital and specialist dementia care.
