The very early Winter polar blast


We have a rather icy polar blast moving up the country at the moment - people are wearing gloves, coats, hats - anything to keep warm. Rather warm for NZ actually - usually it doesn't start getting this cold until Winter which hits about June/July.  Time to wrap up I think and continue the job searching :-)

You're getting early winter and our seasons can't decide what to do, with winter snow and summer thunderstorms in one day. To answer your question on my blog, people don't climb those rocks, as there are much better areas for rock climbing in the local area.

Hi Amy, I hope the cold, cold weather moves on soon. I don't like it. At least while you are busy with your job search in this weather you won't be regretting missing out on lovely days. Good luck with the search.

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 .

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 ...
