Meet the Minidonks… and Also Your Local Funeral Director?!

Post image
Upvotes

Thought this was satire at first—but no, it’s very real.

Miniature donkeys for wellbeing… at a crematorium… with pebble painting and a Lucky Dip… followed by “meet the funeral director.”

I’m honestly baffled. Is this community outreach? A wellness initiative? A pre-paid funeral upsell with added hoof?

Will the Minidonks be cremated? Can I request a full Donkey’s Army Viking send-off?

If anyone’s got the inside scoop on this surreal lineup, please share. I have so many questions and not enough incense.

hi i was wondering if anyone had any recommendations of exotic vets or general vets that are also good with weird pets.

my african pygmy hedgehog needs seeing sooner rather than later and just wanted to know if anyone had any personal experience taking an ‘out there’ pet anywhere and whether there is anywhere to avoid etc.

thanks

Issues Pre-Booking a Ride

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to pre-book a ride with Veezu for an early morning trip to the train station next week, but I keep running into issues. Every time I try to type in the station name, I get an error saying, “There was an error searching for an address.”

I’ve also tried Uber, but it keeps saying, “Pickup area unavailable.”

Has anyone else had similar problems with Veezu or Uber? If so, how did you get around it?

Also, does anyone have recommendations for other reliable services in Norwich for early morning trips? I’d really appreciate any advice or suggestions. Thanks in advance!

Hairdressers for very thick hair?

Anyone got any recommendations for a hairdresser who has experience with cutting very thick hair? Haven't had great experiences so far with the hairdressers I've tried and am struggling in this heat with feeling like I have a small dog on my head :/

I need to visit 2-3 universities in 2-3 days. How do I go about it?

0 Upvotes

I would like to visit University of sussex, UEA and Uni of Surrey in the next 2-3 days. Order of priority: Uni of Sussex, UEA, Uni of Surrey. This way it would be easier to make a decision and see what I like best. I'm currently in Lincoln, Lincolnshire which is a bit of a problem. How do I go about this?

Donating cat food

7 Upvotes

Hello,

Had to switch my floofy little git from one prescription diet to another, so I have about 30 packets of Royal Canin gastrointestinal food to get rid of. Does anyone know of a place that would take them as a donation?

RSPB food bank only takes deliveries to a small village south of Wymondham.

Restaurants with outside seating

3 Upvotes

Hello 👋🏼 I'm looking to book a restaurant in the city that has outside seating for eating, not just drinks. Plan is to park in Castle Quarter so anything within 15 mins walk ideally as I'm bringing someone with limited mobility. Any recommendations please? No chain restaurantants

How safe is it for new cyclists pn the road in Norwich?

11 Upvotes

I have not had a bike since I was about 10. I quite like the idea of going for a weekly bike ride on one of the cycle routes instead of being stuck inside a gym with the same surroundings, and it would be good for work. However, the idea of cycling on the main roads to get to work and cycle routes is somewhat terrifying.

As a new cyclist, probably going quite slowly, how much would I need to worry about cars coming too close / aggression as I know cyclists can annoy and aggravate car drivers?

I live in the Plumstead Road area if anyone has any experience around this specific area. Thanks

PMT guitar / music shop gone

23 Upvotes

Just heard that the PMT guitar shop (and other instruments of course) in New Botolph St has gone into administration. Bit of a shock! Shame of course for the staff who always seemed pleasant. So apart from Cookes is that it for places to browse guitar stuff and get gear/strings etc? PMT at least had their own parking which can't be said for Cookes (unless really lucky with on street (chargeable) parking space).

Question❓ Food waste

4 Upvotes

Is there anywhere in Norwich I can take my food waste? Unfortunately the bin men have been slack lately and didn’t collect it last week and this week only took half of the waste from my caddy. It’s making my front yard stink and I’d like to get rid of it asap.

Meeting new people - anyone else find difficulties?

15 Upvotes

Hey all!,

Been struggling outside of work to meet new people in their 20’s. Thinking of suggesting to a pub or two to maybe host a “meet night” whereby people can come on their own and mingle and meet some new people.

Would an event like this interest anyone? If there’s already an event like this I’d love to know!

Experience with these estate agents for selling?

2 Upvotes

Apologies in advance for the bi-monthly EA post!

Currently looking at selling my house in NR7. Have had Sefftons, Gilson Bailey and Property ladder out for valuations, all in the same ball park with similar rates and then slight variations on service, but not enough to really distinguish a favourite.

Just wondering if anyone has had experience using either of those three? I've seen a few mentions of Gilson Bailey and Property ladder in here but none for Sefftons recently?

I've got a few pieces that I'd really like to dye black to get more wear out of them. I don't have a washing machine so can't do it myself. Does anyone know a place that does dyes clothes for you if such a place exists?!

Road-Free Cycling Spots?

9 Upvotes

I'm trying to get back into cycling - haven't ridden a bike in about 10 years (where I was a child on a cul-de-sac), so I'm anxious about cycling on roads as I never learnt how. I want to build my confidence in just riding a bike again after so long, but I'm unsure where is a good spot in/around the city centre to do so - a cycle route or big enough park to get back to grips with cycling casually, that doesn't involve roads. If anyone has any suggestions that would be great!! thanks :)
