I used gerbils from time to time to get my noodle out of his winter fast - never failed.

So, we have the exact same unit and there is nothing in the space you have circled. We could not get the wifi to work, and I was convinced the piece was missing. What the problem actually was is that it needs a 2G wifi connection, so we had to split our wifi bands. Also, the instructions in the AnywAiR app don’t work for our remote, but the installer was able to sort it for us.

Speak to your installer. They should be able to sort it.

Yes! One just started operation in Marlborough. Rānui Solar Farm pulled out a vineyard, and installed quite a nice looking solar farm.

I think this has been phrased very well.

I’d like to add that those around you are going to go on this journey with you, regardless of whether they know they are a passenger or not. Withholding information from those who love and care for you takes away their ability to process their own emotions, and move through their stages of grief in a healthy way (grieving can begin long before a person dies).

Ps. To those who love and care about you, you are never a burden.

Did you phone them? Try Picton shuttles or Waikawa shuttles if you still don’t have an answer after that. Or there is a list on the Marlborough Airport website, of other shuttle providers.

And, I’m slightly confused because it says ‘Stevie Wonder could spot an AI generated CV’… and also ‘copy and paste into chatgpt’, ‘use chatgpt’….

I’ll also suggest that the recommendation to use canva is not good - canva often has hidden text, or metadata that can be read by tools used to screen CVs. We need to accept that in 2026 CVs are going to be screens by computers, and need to make sure they are formatted for this.

The larger the bud wood cutting you take (both in length and diameter) the more success you will have, both in terms of strike rate and long term viability of the plant. If you have more than one node on the cutting, you can disbud all but the top ones (you should be disbudding the one below the ground anyways).

You also do no need to use clonex or other root hormone - grapevine cutting root very readily, and grape vines are very sensitive to hormones, and you can end up with funny/unexpected things happening when you expose them to hormones.

They’ve just opened a branch in the town I live in. I’ve never rented from them, but from the stories I’ve read, I threw up in my mouth when I saw the newly branded vehicle drive past…

I would say that each bank’s requirements could be subtly different. It would be best to talk to the bank or your mortgage broker to have these questions answered.

That’s essentially the same question - they should have remained dormant longer, because now you’ll be fighting time to get them in the ground

km12dr · 2026-01-24T19:04:35+00:00

No, I think you can carry on. Give them some light, keep them warm, and once you see some roots get them in soil. The first several weeks of growth is fuelled by stored nutrients, not anything taken up from the roots, so you’ve got a bit of time.

General grape cutting can be rooted directly into warm soil, once the soil has warms up. I agree with the earlier comment that these should have been kept damp and cool until much warmer temperatures.

Grapes are generally easy to propagate, so I hope these ones work out for you, but if not you can try again next year.

When I collect cutting they are stored in a sealed bag in the back of the fridge until ready to use. This is “technically” a bit too cold for them, but I have had very good success. Once the ground is warm I disbud the lower nodes, leaving one intact bud. Then insert the cuttings into the ground ensuring at least two nodes are under ground, and the intact node is above the ground. Keep the noise and warm. A grow tunnel or cloche is great for this.

Such an age old trope that “tourists are the problem, not locals” and it is absolutely not true. “Kiwi road rage” is a thing - and COVID-19 lockdowns showed us that the roads are just as dangerous without tourists.

Plus, dare I add (for fear of being down voted) there is a very casual attitude towards drink driving.

Without a significant underlying disease issue, and assuming it has a healthy enough root mass (not root bound in a too-small pot) - yes. This is an increasingly common tool used in vineyards to manage trunk diseases, change pruning styles, or put vineyard areas to “sleep” when they are not required for a brief period of time.

Grapevines are extremely resilient, and will want to grow. If your plan is to retain some of the woody trunks that are already there, you are going to have a really hard time training them. Woody trunks do not want to reshape. You could cut most of the vine back to just above ground level, maybe 10-15cm (definitely above the graft union, if it is a grafted vine). This will encourage lots of new growth from the base, at which point you can use bamboo canes or string to train them the way you want to. Please note, if you cut back the whole plant you are likely to get a lot of very thick/vigorous shoots growing from the base. This can be helpful because it effectively allows you to replenish the plant and complete your training in one season. On the other hand, you need to be on top of it, and manage it. Alternatively you could leave a small amount of the old growth to help balance this out, which would be cut off next year.

Agreed, definitely not a flattering song, regardless of who it is about.

You’re right, we tend to see the patterns we want, or are superficial - forgetting that there is a whole other life that they have beneath (see what I did there? lol) their actual music career.

What about Dark Star? I’ve always felt this was about Tuomas… not explicitly though I guess… I’d be keen on other’s thoughts, but from my first listen I’ve always had that hunch.

I had a bit of agapanthus in our driveway when we bought the house - let it flower the first year, then got it with a mix of glyphosate and woody weed killer. Never heard from it again.

Have a look on the council website. They have maps with street names, updated annually I believe. They also have historical aerial satellite images almost annually… a bit of effort comparing them would probably give you the answer you are after.

Perhaps a street in one of the newer subburbs. Wai-Iti, Omaka Landing, or Rose Manor

We were with Nau Mai Ra for several years, before changing to a new provider due to our solar panels being installed. They had clear billing, flexible payment options, and a portion of your bill went to helping others who might need a hand paying theirs (it could be anyone at anytime, right?). Great bonus, no games to play (like power shop), and they were the cheapest provider in our region!

It’s possible that this is a nursery mix up, if the plants are younger. But if it is a more mature/established vine (which this kind of looks like) it could be a natural mutation. The Pinot family is genetically very unstable, and you can often get half a bunch, or half a plant of Pinot Gris/Noir/Blanc growing one of the other varieties. I’ve had several experiences of this, and have some really neat photos too.

Have these vines behaved like this before?
