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 ...

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. Linking up with Through my lens , Tuesday Treasures , My corner of the world , Wordless Wednesday .
