Days of Summer surfing...


Since NZ is going through Springtime at the moment, we've had more than enough rain to last us a long time. It's enough to make you feel a bit over it. To sum up my week we've had my daughter's best friend from school here, we dropped her off at the bus stop at 7.30 this morning so she could go back home up north to her family. Today, being my day off the housework is done and there's not alot to do except watch some movies. Until the weather improves I'm going to dream of warm days of Summer :-)

When I lived in New Zealand weather mattered. Rain = no (or miserable) croquet. On Lewis if rain mattered I'd not get a lot done!

I am waiting for summer. The rain is making it come slowly.

But (as they say in Oregon) it is all that 'liquid sunshine' that makes things so beautiful and green ... (I used to feel quite 'over it' most of the rainy season though, so I know what you mean... and in fact that was a big part of why we decided to travel in the winter when we retired)!

A great photo with all those surf boards sitting there. Sorry about your rainy weather. It would be so much easier if we could even things out. We are in the middle thirties today with serious thunderstorms predicted for later today - put the car undercover and don't leave loose things around the yard!

Thanks for your comment on my blog but all of those flowers are gymea lilies - although sometimes them may have another common name. Many years ago I think these are what my Dad used to call Mountain Lilies.

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 ...
