Kaeo Connectivity




 Is anyone else having problems with Blogger at the moment? It all started with me trying to add a new blog link but for some reason the widget I'm using within the theme won't save or do anything. Until I get it sorted out I've had to remove my blog links and will try putting them up again shortly, so if you don't see your blog in my favourites don't worry I'll still come visit everyone.




Anyway, my contribution for this week's Monday Mural is this illustration I saw in Kaeo just after Winter this year.  Someone has painted these colourful words on the side of a public loo next to the local playground. I haven't managed to find who the artist is but the words are about family connections, whanau (family), coming together and connectivity. It certainly brightens up the small town.

Kia kaha.

...it sounds like I'm lucky to not be using any widgets, I'm still trying to figure out the new Blogger. There's no missing this one.

Your blog reminds me that we haven't ventured north this year at all. Must try and do it before Christmas.

It's only when you come away from New Zealand that you realise just how many public toilets New Zealand has compared with so many other places. The UK is beginning to catch up with the murals though - particularly in cities.

Beautiful colours in this one Amy 💛💚 I think we're all struggling a bit with the new blogger, we just have to persevere 😉

I like it. They've done a good job of matching up the colors used all around the playground.

No more than the usual problems with blogger. Honestly I don't why they just dont go back to the old set up. This one just makes more work and is damned annoying!

A beautiful mural. I love the messages.

blogger is driving me crazy. I only use it for the skywatch friday meme and I inherited it for somebody else so I don't have control over all the various settings but it resets me in Australia every week and if don't manually put myself back in Tulsa then the timing breaks down.

I've had several elderly bloggers ask me for help because the photographs don't work like they used to. I am not much help unfornately.

I was trying to add a blog-link this morning and it wouldn't work either.
I do so love the way so many of our public facilities are decorated these days.

I feel like they need to bring in into the modern age, it's almost like it's sort of still stuck in the 90s.

It sure doubles the value with the happy colors.
Is anyone happy with the new blogger? (insert ironic laugh)

I'm starting to see a few of these loo murals in the states. This is very colorful. It's a great find.

I'm having the exact same problem in blogger. I'm so glad to read I'm not alone.

Quite a colourful mural Amy and it matches the colours in the playground too. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals.
I seem to have trouble with photo uploading and with the sizing of the letters. When I revert to draft every sentence seems to go to different sizes and fonts. Then I have to put it back to normal and save again....

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. Linking up with  Through my lens ,  Tuesday Treasures ,  My corner of the world ,  Wordless Wednesday .
