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 ...

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 .

Vondel

  I nthe heart of Devonport in Auckland is this little block of businesses. In my younger days I worked in this suburb as a legal typist for lawyers and to see it now as it is, it's made many changes over the years. This building is surrounded by older style buildings in the main street with businesses such as shoe shops, clothing shops, professionals, cafes, bars, restaurants etc. It's a very upmarket suburb with quite expensive houses along the waterfront. Vondel in the above photo is a restaurant but upon looking up their website, there wasn't alot of information about who they are. Linking up with  Weekend Reflections   and the  Weekend Roundup .
