Panorama of Matheson Bay - Summer 2013


While organizing my old photos a few nights ago I came across this one taken at Mathesons Bay north of Auckland when I use to visit this area quite a bit. Such a small beach that was really a popular place in Summer but very calm water and a pontoon for the kids to swim out to.

And I am SO glad it's Friday tomorrow (yes I am posting this early), the new job I started is going well. In case you didn't know, I am back working in dentistry as a dental assistant which I worked in when I lived up north for 4 years before moving down here. Each dentist does things differently, has different procedures, using different products so for the last couple of weeks I have been learning everything new compared to what I was use to - but I like it, it's interesting.

Anyway the photo above is all because of Skywatch Friday so if you want to see more of the same from loads of other bloggers click here :-)

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 ...
