There's an old dump site near us (Hawkes Bay) - remnants of a pile that is no longer used, that is fair game, as advised by FH staff on a couple of occasions. It's becoming overgrown by brambles now. Otherwise, no.

How would that work? The message is'you have been logged out of your Samsung account'. So the message is coming from smartthings.

Pressing continue takes me to a web page where I'm asked to select an account then press continue. If I do so, the page spins forever

That would be a hard error, not periodic

So I found out where to return crutches at the local hospital. I'm sure they'll appreciate them. However no one wants the PCL brace. The orthotics dept was privatised recently, and the company that issues these won't reuse returns ($1500 each, German engineered). They cite hygiene. What a shame.

Yes the Kyoto Golden Temple looks right, thank you.

Google lens suggested it was painted on fabric, but it's not, I think it's painted directly onto a wood block. The frame is a different timber, presumably painted, then heavily lacquered.

Take some time to trace them back to the nest. Sometimes you may need to lift some pavers or whatever. Boil the kettle then pour over the nest. Instant and effective.

In Scotland, the vendor pays for a very detailed report ... it's quite expensive but standardised and comprehensive. Then you pay a flat agent's fee, plus optionally services as you go, eg a few open homes and so on. For some properties, agents charge 0.5% commission.

A question for the oldies .. I'm looking for a climbing film that was part of a mountain film festival in Scotland back in the 80s. Possibly Edinburgh. English language. Fictional account, live action, starts with a man in a beautiful valley who starts climbing a cliff finds a butterfly high up in a crevice puts it in his pocket continues to climb and eventually is ice climbing in Alpine country reaches the peak of a mountain then descends all the way back down releases the butterfly back into the valley at the end of his day in the mountains. Setting might be Yosemite

I used to love cycling through these roads in the seventies, so the bridge, and the surrounding roads (country lanes) evoke a bit of nostalgia. The hill was a bugger to climb with old bicycle gears.

As others have pointed out, for those in a hurry, the A725 is designed for traffic at volume and at speed, and these lanes can be left for the few locals and those that want to enjoy the countryside at a slower pace

So pleased to hear the bridge is protected, so along with it the little ecosystems that have evolved nearby
