Small but beautiful: Visitors to Iceland might want to try booking a tiny house for their vacation. The tiny house in question has some very special qualities. It's part of the Panorama Glass Lodge located about a 30-minute drive from Reykjavík, Iceland's capital. The bedroom walls and ceiling are made of glass so visitors can go to sleep watching the Northern Lights dance in the sky. The amazing scenery includes Hvalfjör˘our (fjord of the whales) as well as snow-capped mountains. The little place has many luxury amenities including an outdoor hot tub.

GUARANTEED! FREE QUOTES - No job too big or small MANUREWA RSA NOTICE We SOLD the property (land & buildings) in May 2018. The Manurewa RSA is still a full member of Clubs NZ and RNZRSA. We have used the proceeds of the sale to secure the future of WELFARE for the members and service/ex-service personnel and their whanau. We are an 'RSA without Borders'. We will continue to assist all those who approach us for remembrance and comradeship (welfare). We WILL NOT be going back into the Bar/Restaurant or Gambling business. Our focus is on support services as per the RNZRSA motto 'People helping People'. We have started a Drop In centre for members in the Freyberg Lounge. The door will be open and there will be members here. Mondays / Wednesdays / Fridays 10 am to 3 pm for tea, coffee and a chat. Membership is open to anyone who wishes to belong to an RSA and its values. The subscription costs are low to reflect that we do not have the other revenue streams. The cost is just to cover the capitation we pay to other entities and also a little administration (cards/compliance etc). We welcome applications for membership but if you choose not to belong to us that does not stop our commitment to helping veterans with their entitlements. We have support service advisors on hand to assist with any queries about Veterans Affairs, ACC or entitlements attributable to service. Read our January Newsletter which is published on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/Manurewa-RSA-1469137590053064 Due to the recent Manurewa RSA rule changes, we are however asking all existing members to refill in a membership form so that we might maintain the accuracy of our contact database. Looking forward to meeting all our existing and potentially new members.

Vol 231:5
Big banknote: When people open a new bank account, they usually take a cheque or a bit of cash to deposit into their chosen financial institution. However, tellers at a bank in Lincoln, Nebraska USA, were surprised when a man presented them with a $1 million banknote and asked them to open an account and deposit the money. The bank employees knew that a real $1 million bill doesn't exist. In fact, the largest bill currently in circulation in the United States is $100. The bank manager called police, who are trying to find the man. Raining unicorns: Folks working at a television station in Calgary in Alberta, Canada, got a bit of a shock one Halloween morning when their weatherman arrived on the set. Jordan Witzel, a meteorologist, pranced in front of the camera dressed as a white unicorn including pink hair, a horn, hooves and a multi-coloured tail. A banner appeared on the screen identifying him as “Ferdinand: Mystical Meteorologist.” With the anchors laughing and exclaiming in disbelief, “Ferdinand” proved he could work the clicker with his hooves to present the weather report. Pet rooster: Some people might love dogs, while others enjoy the company of cats, parrots, or hamsters. But for Martin Herrera of San Jose, Costa Rica, roosters are his pets of choice. He has been domesticating and training the birds for many years. His favourite is a rooster named Paquito. Herrera can be found walking the streets of the city with Paquito on a leash, taking him to markets and cafés. In San Jose, people are allowed to bring pets onto city buses so Herrera takes his favourite bird on bus rides too. The bird lover trained Paquito to sit on his shoulder, to the delight of onlookers.

Did you know? Big lakes: Located between Asia and Europe, and bordering five countries, the Caspian Sea is the largest lake in the world. The second largest is Lake Superior, which straddles the CanadianAmerican border in North America. Season: Earth is tilted at 23.5 degrees in relation to our orbit around the Sun. When the North Pole is pointed away from the Sun, it is winter in the northern hemisphere and summer in the southern hemisphere. Vice versa when the North Pole is pointed toward the Sun. Odd sea creature: The dugong lives in the warm coastal waters of the Red Sea, Indian Ocean, and Pacific Ocean. This large mammal looks a little bit like a manatee. Dugongs are herbivores and like to eat sea grass. Wind watch: Prevailing winds are winds blowing in their most frequent direction in a certain location. Depending on the latitude, prevailing winds generally blow from east or west, rather than from north or south.
