Wooden you know it?




 I was out with my daughter walking through town yesterday and we spotted this wooden type Christmas tree outside the local Florist shop, someone has created this version which is probably easier to put out on display and bring back inside again. I've been trying to figure out my own Christmas lights, I've put up 2 lots, one of each of the backyard fences but I have a really really long one that I accidentally broke so B fixed it for me but it still won't work. Seeing as my lights are about 2-3 years old and I didn't really pay that much for them I might just order a new set next week.

So masks have just been made mandatory on all public transport here in New Zealand but because our town is a bit too small, we don't have a local bus service so I wonder how bus drivers will monitor people wearing them or not. I feel sorry for them. 

Lastly I don't know if anyone else has been receiving spam comments about boomers, I've been getting them for quite some time and I have to say they make me roll my eyes back into my head while laughing. I think whoever is leaving these comments needs to do their research a bit better into what a boomer actually is. The phrase was created by one of our kiwi politicians, Chloe Swarbrick about people who were born anytime before 1965. Since I wasn't born until 1971 that makes me a Gen-X so the comment that is being left is a bit redundant and stupid anyway. I've been marking them as spam and deleting them. I think the person needs a hobby.

One for Weekend Reflections.

That's creative.

I occasionally get those spam boomer comments. First, I'm not a boomer, I'm Gen-X. Second, whoever that is, is a complete gutless coward.

It appears to be the same comment pasted on every blog (those I've seen on blogs that don't moderate) so it's composer doesn't even have the imagination or creativity to tailor the comment to the blogs he/she/it targets.

Those non-tree trees are turning up all over the place. The best part of a real Christmas tree is the scent. The Tigger loves pulling baubles off and batting them about the lounge.

I thought it was a load of trash at first, not my cup of tea I'm afraid. I'm a boomer and proud of it

Yes my partner is a boomer too, it doesn't worry me personally and the wood xmas tree isnt my thing either but I did think it was quirky.

I like the wooden tree but I would use more Xmas colours. That is a great store Deco.

Love the title.
Yep, mandatory since months. In summer (ours, so... July) I went to my Bro. 1 hour plus with mask, ugh! One way!

The boomer. A sad person. I deleted that comment oh so often with the same look on my face.
Not very creative. Or clever.
Hubby was born 1965 and might even fit in the range. And hence I know... he was not spoiled at all.
Me 1972, boom(er)-fail!

Yes, I've gotten the boomer spam too and I am one. I'd say that person has some serious issues.
I haven't been out to any shopping centers in a long time so I haven't seen the Christmas decorations up yet. This will be a different Christmas this year.

I love creative Christmas trees such as your find.
I have yet to see my first Boomer spam comment. I get lots of boomer talk from a young friend of mine. He calls Covid the "Boomer Doomer" and the hour that some stores set aside for older people as the Boomer Hour. It's all in good fun.

Creative Christmas trees are popular. Everyone wants to be different these days. :)
Boomer spam, I just got one the other day, I laugh and just delete. I can't imagine the life these spammers live, must be extremely boring.

I've had baby boomer spam mail for years. Technically I'm not a baby boomer either. The Wikipedia definition is people born between 1946 and 1964. As I was born before the baby boom I claim exemption but the spammers want everyone to hear their words of hate. C'est la vie. I can cope with the mentally challenged but I dislike the explicit stuff which was targeting some of us but fortunately now seems to have been caught by Google.

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 .
