Winter skies in Paeroa


Night skies in Paeroa - (pronounced pie-rower) with petrol station to the right. 
Winter 2016

So I'm down with the flu...again! Must be the 4th time in the last few months - the joys of working with the public I guess. And after having my annual checkup at the doctor's last week I was pleased to hear that my blood pressure has gone down since last time I was there, I think it's the fact that I've lost weight that's helped but the doctor did say that going through the dreaded menopause (like I have been for the last 2 years) can slow your metabolism down to almost nothing so it explains probably why I'm so tired alot of the time. I think if it wasn't for the daily vitamins and supplements I take I'd be more worse for the wear.

I did get a chance to try some new chocolate bars by Cadbury - they've put out a larger bar of Picnic, a larger bar of Moro and a larger bar of Moro Gold, not sure what I think of them, they seem a bit rich and overly sweet so think I will stick with my favourites. Anyway...4 working days till I finish work - yay!

Linking up with Skywatch Friday.

Hoope you feel better for the move. You look far too young for the menopause.

Hello, pretty colorful sky! I think the Cadbury bars are sold here too, I have to try one. I hope you feel better now. Thanks for the visit. Enjoy your day and weekend!

Gosh how horrible Amy, you really have had a bad run with the flu. Everything you described there sounds so familiar, I can't believe how hard it is to lose 10 kgs.. if you find a way let me know ☺ btw, gorgeous sunset!

Oh dear, I do hope you feel better soon. That's way to often to have the flu. I just got over a cold and it's the second this year. I used to be able to go two years without getting a cold.

What a lovely sunset you captured. Hope you're feeling better, that is not a nice feeling being sick.

Oh take care, sleep well and get much rest and exercise not work and thinking! Those skies i've seen also in Auckland. But your header of mountains full of thick snow i want to see in the future, as i've only seen a few snowcaps on the way to Milford Sound.

Very pretty shot. Sorry to hear about the flu (again!). Perhaps the only upside is you are likely building up a very strong immune system, and future years will be kinder to you!

I seem to recall that Paeroa is a rather forgettable place that I used to pass through on the way to Thames. The name is very familiar but I can't recall a single landmark. Perhaps I never stopped there.

The only thing it has there that is some sort of landmark is the lemon and paeroa bottle, seen in one of my previous posts but apart from that it's very much blink and you miss it.

Thanks for confirming that Amy. I must have blinked.

When I was at your stage of life I called chocolate my Vitamin C.... it was a necessity of life. And honestly i think there has been research showing it to be beneficial. I certainly recommend it. (Now I can do without it but still enjoy occasionally!). Hope you feel better by now since I am late reading; still catching up after being gone.

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.
