SUP boarding anyone?


One thing I like to do each day is walk for between 30 minutes and 1 hour. This particular day, one of the few mornings we've had here where the Sun has come out was one where I walked further than I usually do down to one of our local bridges where I saw 2 people paddle boarding through the estuary. Water was still, sun was out, what more can you ask for in a Spring day?

That's something we have here too, though time is now running short for it this year.

I take a SUP class at a pool where the board is tethered at the ends. It is an excellent workout. I tried it once on open water this past summer and it took a little to get used to the front back balance thing. Great workout.
Excellent photo.

Something I have never tried but I do walk when I get a chance between projects around the house

Well done on the daily walking Amy, such a good way to start or end the day. I bet it's not as easy as it looks the stand up paddle boarding, excellent for the core muscles though 😊

Paddle boarding looks like a fun thing to do on the water. I've seen my kids do it with varying degrees of success.

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 ...
