First of the Autumn morning skies


Last week before heading off to work first thing in the morning I could see the skies were on their way to showing off a stunning sunrise so I grabbed my camera and headed off to the beach. This is what I snapped, the first of the Autumn skies for 2016 for us.

It's been a week or so since i last posted, not that I haven't wanted to but I've been pulling some long hours at work and by the time I get home I haven't felt like doing much of anything. My 45th birthday came and went last Friday, the other half and I celebrated it by enjoying a night out at a local Chinese restaurant. Hopefully your last week and weekend was just as nice :-)

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.

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 ...
