Mount Maunganui public library


Another sunny late Summer's day here, this morning on my run past our local library it was good to many of the Sunflowers and Rudbeckia still flowering - these had been planted about a month ago.

Hopefully for those in the northern hemisphere you have a bit of thawing out going on. Linking up with Skywatch Friday :-)

I am so ready for summer! WE had a much warmer day here than what we've been having, but still not warm enough for my liking. I love the sunflowers!

Sunflowers here blossom quite late in our summer, usually August. Today it's hovering around the freezing mark.

Those flowers go really well together, I don't see Rudbeckia very much around here

I like that you have shown us the public library. The very first thing I did when I lived in NZ was join the Napier Library but as I didn't have any utility bills or proof of where I lived I joined as a visitor. A while later when I got my driver licence I went straight from the AA office to the Library (almost opposite) and showed them my licence. They simply said "Oh that's okay Graham, we know you." and issued me with my full ticket which I still treasure. I think being a member of a local library is the embodiment of belonging in a community. Sadly libraries in the UK are disappearing at an alarming rate. Gosh. Sorry about that rather long comment.

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 ...
