Gotta have that coffee


There's nothing I like better than a good strong coffee first thing in the morning, kind of sets my day and wakes me up. While we were in level 3 some businesses were able to open for contactless deliveries and pickups - this shop in the middle of town on one of the corners normally sells not just coffee but also a wide range of wine and craft beers. In the mornings they've had people lining up so I'm guessing their coffee is really good. Now that we're in level 2 just about everywhere is open and the traffic level is pretty much back to normal, it's almost like we're back to level 0.

I started my part time job today which I enjoyed alot, my feet were a bit sore at the end of the day but they will harden up again soon.

Hope you're staying safe there.

It's good to hear you are back at work and, more importantly, that life is getting back towards normal. We have a very long way to go. My first coffee of the day is after my breakfast - often mid morning. However it is then the first of many!

I've never quite understood the need for coffee that some people have...I have seen some posts where people can't wait to get their takeaway coffee again. Can't it be made at home?

NZ seems to be doing really well, I hope it continues like that.

Hope your feet feel better soon. I know all too well about sore feet!

It is beginning to look a lot like it used to. Traffic is not quite up to where it was. I will give it a couple of more days.

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 ...
