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.

Congrats on your first dose! I agree with your comment about "best left alone". I wouldn't challenge them!

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 .
