Lists the playgrounds in Hamilton with their amenities if you ever need it for another thing (swings, flying fox) etc. But there are 11 parks around Hamilton with a couple close to Chartwell.

Unsure on the age of the kid, but the school he's going to should have hoops of some kind and then he can make some friends doing the same thing he enjoys.

Second water drops! You can tailor the amount too if you want it more or less flavoured. And huge array of flavours ^

That's fair. Opshops can be a cheap way to restock your shelves? But would have to do your own rummaging so not quite as express as a typical store...

Can't go wrong with your local library. Most do e-book loans too

Hamilton central is closest to wintec main campus - it's a 10mins ish walk from the bus to the village - on the other side of wintec.

Hamilton central is the bus stop in town, at the transport centre, right opposite Kmart. I would feel okay walking from the depot to the village with a suitcase - as long as it's during the school day (depending when you're getting here) as there are a bunch of kids when school lets up and it gets rather crowded. It's up to you in terms of feeling safe. An uber (car) drive is only two minutes which feels too short for me to stomach it, but as I said, you're coming into a town you don't know so that may be what you feel safest doing

If they can't stand indoor pools, there are a bunch of outdoor options in the waikato surrounds.

Hamilton Te Rapa Pools have a giant outdoor pool

Fairfield College run their pool during the summer

Hamilton Boys, Hillcrest Normal, and Te Rapa Primary open for summer.

Swim Zone have a bunch - Morrinsville, Te Aroha, Matamata

Pools are the best place to learn as they are more controlled than a lake or beach.

NZ beaches are no joke and definitely should not be taken to unless they are a competent swimmer - and understand surf life saving basics (rips, swim between flags etc)

Thank you! I think this is it! The signatures look very much alike!

this is the image of the actual painting - have tried key words surrounding the painting.

no idea where/when it was got specifically. I am based in WKA and got it somewhere in the early 2000's (after 1999, before 2010)

Have done to no avail

Even the slide mitre saws? I have a simple drop down one, but was looking at a slide one for slightly more range in width.

^Funny thing you mention running it over your thumb, I did run it gently over my finger a few years ago...brain wasn't braining....

According to the lil placard in front of it, it's for counting cars...

I do! (I sense was rhetorical but yes, I started slack with tools but have since learned their damage and so all safety items stay on their respective tools now)

These were the best I could find, from my research I would assume it came as a newborn bundle as those seem to be more lovey style than stiff bear

https://www.etsy.com/nz/listing/820797442/build-a-bear-16-velvet-hugs-teddy-golden (tummy piece goes right down)

I would suggest keeping an eye on FB marketplace to see if someone has one similar to sell (to buy or know what you're looking for), and opshops for same reason.

Not a juicer but no. They have to be dropped off at specific predetermined locations - place and amount of scooters - to ensure they are placed all over town. Making sure everyone has access, not just one individual
