The beat goes on...


We are finally moved in and are gradually unpacking in bits and pieces, no point stressing. Now that we are at the new property we are basically staying put until the other half starts work next week and I have a job interview at my old workplace. We've had no internet for the last 2 days but it's been quite nice not having the distraction of it other than that  we can't go for nature walks, can't go sight seeing, can't explore new places, can't do much at all but it's for the best really.


Our Coronavirus count has gone up to 451 as of today and mostly spready by kiwis coming back from overseas and a few tourists here and there but I suspect there will be more of people who weren't tested who were no doubt self isolating at home. Sadly there are still some other people though who are out and about, swimming at beaches, going for unimportant walks and drives - these people concern me as we are all meant to be in lockdown only going out if it's absolutely necessary.

Anyway hope you are all ok, I will go blog visiting later today until then I'll get back to opening a few more boxes...

Good luck at your new place. What a time to move!! Here in the US, the president has refused to lead and so its everybody for themselves. Here in Oklahoma, the governor would rather sponsor prayer meetings and so the various mayors and such are trying to do the right thing. So it is a really big mess as you can tell from the stats.

Thank goodness the move is over. I was wondering where you were now. Have fun settling in.

I'm glad that you are "settled" again. All moves in the UK have been discouraged but the chaos that is causing is considerable. I've moved so few times in my life that I can't even begin to imagine a move at this stage in my life. Stay safe. And thanks for adding Arohonui to my vocabulary.

Glad you got moved. Good luck with the unpacking. At least you have plenty to do while at home.

Glad the move went well for you. Good luck with the interview but they know you so it should go fine.
Take care and stay safe!

Those sights will be there for you in the future Amy, at least this will give you time to unpack and settle in. I agree though, there are some that are still not doing the right thing, there always are! Enjoy your new home, exciting!

You seem to have ended up in a nice place. And the move went smoothly.
The corona virus is everywhere now. So far I and my family is healthy. But my granddaughter is in Queensland, studying. Or should be. :( There are restrictions. y daughter and grandson are working in a city with ongoing infections. So, it is uncertain. :( Stay healthy!

The unpacking should keep you from getting bored. Good luck in your new place and stay safe.

we got rid of loads of stuff before we moved so we've pretty much finished 90% of the unpacking, trying to get a job at my old work now.

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 ...
