Tauranga please cool down!


Now is the time when I say I can't wait for it to cool down, Summer seems to be going forever and in case you think I'm griping and complaining, just let me say I am really not a fan of the heat. This shot of Pilot Bay reiterates that I can't wait to move out here away from the suburbs and near the beach...sand, salty air, hearing the waves at night - awesome!

I do however have some good news to share.....I started a new job last week back in dentistry working as a dental assistant, that means I help the dentist out, keep the patients happy and calm and do all the behind the scenes stuff that is part of the job. Something to do with a bit more income had a bit to do with it. Let's just say for the first couple of days my feet were very very sore and I was shattered when I got home at night but now I'm slowly starting to get use to it again :-)

Hope you're having a fab weekend!

Congrats on the new job ( I think)... It has to be hard after being off for a while. I'd love to live right on the ocean too ... But real estate tends to be a bit expensive in those places (and I'm too old and too spoiled to be a FullTime beach bum!)

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money).   My research found that:  "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

Vondel

  I nthe heart of Devonport in Auckland is this little block of businesses. In my younger days I worked in this suburb as a legal typist for lawyers and to see it now as it is, it's made many changes over the years. This building is surrounded by older style buildings in the main street with businesses such as shoe shops, clothing shops, professionals, cafes, bars, restaurants etc. It's a very upmarket suburb with quite expensive houses along the waterfront. Vondel in the above photo is a restaurant but upon looking up their website, there wasn't alot of information about who they are. Linking up with  Weekend Reflections   and the  Weekend Roundup .
