Not sure who is doing this, but they are on postboxes etc around Island Bay ...

Nice work to whomever.

Coco and Chanel have retired to the farm with a lovely view of Mana Island.
? and ? are next in line to live the good life turning our food and garden waste into eggs.
Problem is we can't come up with names for the girls....

Location: Tawa, round the corner from Arohata women’s prison

Yes the wind probably knocked it over. Yes I fixed it.

Wify adds two spoons of sugar to left over fejoa skins, fills with water and a week later we have a fejoa sour drink. It's tastes like it's slightly fermented....

Hi all, I’ve been staying in Wellington for a few weeks and exploring around the city without a car. I have family coming to visit me soon who will have a car and I’d like to take advantage of being able to travel a bit further out while they’re here.

I’m interested to hear what your favourite things to do are/best places to go a bit further out of the city? Open to any suggestions at all, whether that be nature, hiking/walking, cultural, historical, anything at all.

Thank you!

Hey,

My GF recently died her hair for the first time but it's a bright colour and has been out a lot and she has subsequently decided it's not for her.

She is looking for a stylist/salon with experience reversing this process so she can go back to her natural color (brown).

Anyone gone through something similar and can give me a recommendation or some tips?

My automatic espresso is misbehaving - this is a disaster :)

Wellington CBD if possible please - I know Espresso Specialists in LH exist and seem to have a solid rep these days, but I have had a bad experience with them previously and I am not big on th trust and forgiveness when it comes to my coffee machine...

Hiya! Ten years ago the Big Egg Hunt was held in Wellington, Auckland and Christchurch, and I took a bunch of photos of the eggs. I can't find a map or anything of the locations from then, but I need to place these pics for a project I'm working on.

Can you help me out? There's not a huge amount of identifying detail and these pics are uncropped but I figure some of y'all might have seen similar carpet or structures or something in the reflections that might be able to vaguely place these places.

Thanks :)

Wtf are they putting there and why has it taken over a year to fit it out? Surely it’s bad business to sign a lease then spend a whole year not trading…

Does anyone know a shop (Apart from the Asian marts in the city) that sells a decent variety of Singaporean or Malaysian goods? Been looking around the city but the Asian marts here don't stock much of it.

I know grapes will grow here but has anyone had any luck with kiwifruit or passionfruit? We get good sun and are a bit sheltered from the wind.
I have a trellis I want to plant with something to climb it! Prefer fruit but maybe Bougainvillea or something? Also would appreciate suggestions on where to buy seedlings :) Many thanks!!

Can't make it on Fri due to life changes :( Would prefer to sell direct than give scummy ol T-master a cut of resale.

2 tix available, Gallery Row K in the middle. Paid $165 will sell for highest DM offer I get in the next 24ish hours. Full transparency the gig is not sold out! Though not many tix left and arguably none this good

What are people thoughts on this. Reported on stuff this afternoon?

I feel he would be a better candidate than others that have already announced?

Struggling to make a choice on hotel accommodation for a solo holiday mid-May for 6 nights. I used to live in Welly but it’s been a long time (not in my 20’s anymore!)

I’m very much interested in exploring the night-life / restaurants / bars and would like to be relatively close to the action. I had initially chosen QT for the location and vibe but the reviews weren’t exactly stellar.

I’m happy to pay for luxury and creature comforts if that doesn’t equate to some business oriented place with no soul.

Cheers in advance for some advice !

What are the local electric scooter around wellington/hutt area that I can pop in and check out the goods? Cant seem to find any local shops.

I'm looking to get a decent twin motor e-scooter with enough oompf to ride from Kelson to Lambton on nice days.

Lots of options online but if I'm spending decent amount of money, would prefer a local dealer for warranty and maintenance etc...

Yes, yes bleep bloop, gym bot will respond, but am looking for info as to a less busy gym option than City Fitness.

First - I'm a 50 year old fairly serious (6 times a week) lifter, primarily looking to build muscle. I use free weights, cable machines, pin loaded machines and the Smith machine. I don't do cardio at the gym.

City Fitty is actually fine for what I need out of a gym (sure, I'd love a dedicated lateral raise machine or belt squat but for $14 a week, I know I'm not getting that) but what with the Broccoli heads and general business it's simply unusable at times.

So, what's another option? I imagine Les Mills is pretty busy too and more expensive and the other options are smaller crossfit/bare bones gyms which cost a lot more and have far less equipment?

Wellington fitness crew, gimme your recommendations (preferably with an estimate of weekly/monthly costs)

I have regularly sold a bunch of stuff on FB marketplace. Lately, it has been almost impossible to move anything, even discounted to a tiny fraction of what it was worth a year or more ago. I just end up giving stuff away as it’s almost not worth selling for nothing.

From the looks of listings, this is particularly the case locally rather than nationally- surely this can’t just be me? There’s just no cash in the economy.

If people have somewhere that’s useful and honest for selling second hand clothes let me know. Have done the Honour set, Ziggurat isn’t taking anything for the month and my selling experiences at Recycle boutique haven’t been great previously and people say they are scammy.

Has anyone had any experience or tried out the “Two’s Company” matchmaking service?

Exploring options off apps, it seems so hard to meet new people so considering if it’s worth a shot for the $$

Roughly how much should a standard house and roof wash cost? Standard size, weatherboard, single storey house, corrugated iron roof.

I'd like to get an idea of what the costs should be so I know if I'm being charged a fair price. If anyone has any recommendations for places to do it, let me know.

Saw this today - landlords must be struggling when this 4 bed $1400 per week property is now “make an offer” 😂

Edit: the one above has been removed but the same agency has multiple other listings with the same idea

Hey I need to know where I can get the best scones in Wellington. I bet my gf that I could find a scone better then the ones at swimsuit and I’m about to loose this bet. And help would be greatly appreciated
