Time for a family fishing day!


On my ventures out and about I spotted this mum with her boy fishing off the wharf at the base of the Mauao Walking track here in Tauranga. Was quite a choppy windy warm day but it was very nice to see them enjoying it in the outdoors.

Have you been fishing and if so what type of fish can you catch in your part of the world?

We don't fish, but we do see a few people fishing down by the sea, but I don't know what kind of fish they catch. I'm just not patient enough. :(

We don't fish either, too impatient to wait for a nice big catch :) But we love staying outdoors, just watching these boats is already a treat for me :)

I used to occasionally take my boys when they were younger and my dad took me when I was a kid, but it isn't an activity that I regularly do. When I have spare time, I'm always out on a motorcycle ride.

It's always great to see young kids enjoying old fashioned outdoor activities, with no electronics! Fishing is huge in coastal florida. Grouper, marlin, you name it. We haven't fished here yet. Too busy with other stuff. Bill caught halibut and salmon when we were in alaska last summer.

I am not much of a fisherman. We have tried a few times in the Hauraki, but I generally get bored long before I catch anything.

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 ...

Family

  Photo taken Spring 2024 in Auckland We have been invited to a family reunion in June 2026 which will be held in Auckland so I'm looking forward to catching up with relatives that I haven't seen in over 10 years.  This week we have: Had a good chat with a friend who has also adopted a rescue dog - must arrange a play date. I've bought some non alcoholic liqueurs to mix up for mocktails which have been very nice as I don't really drink. We had a massive wind storm 2 days ago, we were ok but a good friend who lives 20 minutes away had a bolt of lightning strike her house, the result was a blown up power box inside and part of her kitchen got burned, she had to call out the fire brigade to put it out. And I have a question for you; when you add your blog post to a blog meme or a blog link up, do you expect the owner of that blog to at least come back and comment on the other blogs that have linked up to it including yours even if it's only occasionally?  I actually th...

Hail

  Spring is throwing out some strange weather right now. We don't get snow where we live but it is visible on some of the mountains around us over Winter. Last week around 4.30am we had a very loud thunderstorm with hail. It wasn't until an hour or so later my daughter said this is what she saw out on our deck.  Clumps of hail all over the deck and on her hand. Apparently various other suburbs around town got it too.
