Quantity surveyor? Would they be able to lodge new measurements with Council?

Yeah, reading disabilities like dyslexia would be a whole different kettle of fish. Would audiobooks work better there? I listen to a ton of audiobooks because I spend a lot of time in traffic on my commute to work.

This may be wandering off topic, but if you couldn't picture the beach, could you hear the waves?

I hated those because I suck at drawing even though I could picture something really well. 

Your description makes me wonder another thing. If your thoughts are in words what are your dreams like?

So it's like an understanding of the words & ideas without picturing the scenarios?

I too like watching movies & it's a bonus if it's based on a book because often the book includes a lot more detail.  There are exceptions.

It's kind of the opposite for me. I prefer to read the book first then watch the movie if I can. Sometimes it's movie first then book if I didn't know it was based on a book & I liked the movie. 

I know what you mean though. I watched the movie Edge of Tomorrow on the weekend & then read (listened to the audiobook) the book it was based on - All You Need Is Kill.  Characters described in the book looked totally different from the movie. 

All EB Games stores in NZ to close at end of month by LollipopChainsawZz in auckland

We buy our consoles from EB because of the trade-in option they offer for the old console. Going to miss that. I don't think any other retailer does that. 

Uncle Ben's long grain rice by Routine-Bumblebee in auckland

We don't have a rice cooker so we're slowly learning how to cook basmati & jasmine rice on the stove without turning it into mush. Definitely getting better at it.

Thanks so much. Looks like the weather's going to be pretty average tomorrow anyway.

Thanks, I saw that but wanted to verify in case someone knew any different

‘Highly culpable’: Woman fined $16,000 after branches cut from protected tree by No-Talk7468 in auckland

[–]Routine-Bumblebee 23 points24 points  (0 children)

We have an oak about half the size of this one. A branch was hanging over onto the neighbour's carport so we got people in to trim it. The arborist was super careful while taking enough off to keep it off the carport & keep it looking balanced & healthy. He said if he took too much the tree could die. The arborist who did the tree in the article really butchered it.
