  • Hard News: I'm not a "f***ing cyclist".…, in reply to Lucy Stewart,

    Yeah but, have we not given up the 2 lanes in order for the bus to move along at a pace, stopping and starting, of which I often see is not what the cyclist should be up against. Otherwise why have the bus lane? I wish everyone was considerate of everyone else on the road. What I find dangerous is where a bus will stop for passengers embarking, cyclists pull out to pass said bus ending back in traffic which always makes me cringe at the sight of sudden little cyclist sandwiched in between, but no footpath space either. I always give way to cyclists. It's not hard and I can't see any point in frustration behind the wheel until another person puts my life at risk, then I use the horn. Loud and proud.
    Maybe you don't have fastest bus drivers that Auckland should be claiming, then again a bunch of your buses have just been ordered off the road for things like no back door opening or no bell working (which I found amusing) :)
    But also, take off the ipods/ mp3players when cycling/ driving. Mind total distraction. You are not in your own little world. You're on tarseal on the planet, that is proving time and time again that it requires good concentration. jmo.
    Not expressing myself well, brain malfunction.

  • Cracker: Dig This!,

    I rather hope I don’t have to choose anytime soon between the two,

    One can always combine the 2.First tip for drink gardening, eliminate the need for any power tools.Second ,don't buy green or brown gardening tools. go for as bright as possible or be prepared to repeat trip to gardening supplies to replace lost in the garden secateurs,snips , scissors etc.
    Third , rest as you need, fast gardening will not achieve the same satisfaction. Seed raising however, is not on my book for fun. That is one slow process that other growers deserve their small income from. I like to support the economy.
    Remember herb gardens can do with new soil (can't remember frequency).
    It often helps to bed veg or herbs with plants that benefit each other. Marigolds being one. There will be stuff about companion planting on line.
    As an aside I found one can combine drinking and renovating as well. First tip, eliminate the need for power tools.....
