Big Bad boys


Seeing as I'm now in Kaeo every week with one of my elderly clients being a farmer I thought it funny to share this. 3 rather big bulls standing in the middle of the gravel road staring at me in my car, I didn't dare pass them in case they kicked a dent. It wasn't until they moved slightly and a car behind me drove past them that I made my move. Very passively they looked at me with the expressions of "how dare you disturb us enjoying the sunshine". Normally beasts like this are best left alone.

So I've been meaning to get my first Covid Vaccine for over a month now, frontline and healthcare workers have been among the first to be eligible for it. Yesterday I finally told myself to quit mucking around and got it, I walked straight in instead of having to pre-book. Apparently New Zealand mainly ordered the Pfizer one so apart from a sore arm I'm ok, 2nd dose has been booked for a month's time.

Linking up with Skywatch Friday.

Cattle on the street is quite a common sight in India 🙂
Good to hear that you have taken the 1st jab! Stay safe.

I've got my first scheduled after the weekend. I've had no end of issues with my provincial website.

Your photo of the bulls shows them in a tranquil mood, but I would have waited to drive past them too. Imagine if I was on a bicycle, I would have waited a long time.

This sure made me smile big.
We had a Nissan Patrol LWB with a huge bull bar in Australia.
I saw the cow stumbling and stopped in time. She galloped off in fear (come on I stopped the car! No worries!).
You sure had a different situation, LOL.

I was astonished how big the cow was when she "fell". Our car was a massive 4-wheeler and she was tall! (And yes, we really did "need" this car once in a while - no bullies here).

Even the bulls in your corner of the world look different from ours! Haha!

I just love visiting your blog, Amy!

That is a lovely shot Amy, the light is gorgeous. I probably would have been a wee bit nervous to pass them too 😊 well done on first injection, not long for me to have second shot.

Your photo made me smile. They do look like they don't want to be disturbed.
Congrats on your vaccine. I got the Pfizer one too and same result, nothing worse than a sore arm for a day or two.

That's a really lovely bucolic scene - it would make a great painting too. The light and shadow play is great.

They were rather large bulls, and I agree best to let them be until they move on their own. So glad you were vaccinated!

I'm glad you got your first shot!! The side effects are not near as bad as getting covid. Here in Oklahoma, some people won't get the vaccination for political reasons. I don't understand!!

Greetings and Salutations! Glad you were careful going around THAT road blog. LOL! My husband I both had our vaccine shots. Glad you received your Covid-19 shot. Be safe.

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 .
