Very chilly very nippy sunrise...


We really do get some lovely skies here at the beach...Tuesday morning here's what I snapped as I walked down the main street. Sun trying to peep through the clouds, cargo ship moored in the distance and the reflection of the rays over the water - just perfect. Winter is here, the electric blanket is on the bed, sweaters and long pants are out of storage and the frosty air nips at my nose most mornings. But it's all good - I think after 2 years of being here I"m finally settling in.

Linking up with Skywatch Friday :-)

Nice shot, I love cold rooms and electric blankets but I lost that discussion a long time ago here in our home.

our houses here in NZ are different from American ones. we don't have central heating here and we rely on heaters or fireplaces or heat pumps etc so we have to dress up warm and use our electric blankets. We don't get snow in this region where we live you'd have to travel about an hour or so for that, think the lowest we get to at night would be about 0 deg celsius.

Great pic! I wish I had a camera when I went across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge one time during sunset. It was absolutely beautiful and I will never forget it.

That is a beautiful Winter Day my dear! I wouldn't love the frost nipping my nose anymore -- but I'm old and spoiled.

I didn't realize you'd only lived there for a couple of years -- you know so much about the area.

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.
