Resting in Kawakawa


Photo taken of a lady having a rest on one of the mosaic brick seats along the main street with the Star Hotel and the old picture theatre in the background.

We have had a vet's visit this week with our manx "Bunny". Manx Cats don't have tails so their pelvic areas are usually deformed, 2nd time she's been blocked up but this time was also an abscess. With a small operation, anti-biotics and painkillers she's on the mend again...

Linking up with Weekend Reflections and The Weekend Roundup.

I love that style of building when they have verandahs around both levels. Pleased to read the Bunny is recovering well. Tigger sends her some healing purring vibrations. xxx Mr T

Useful art..good to see.
It depends with Manx cats where the spina bifida has affected them, same as humans.
Hope Bunny does well xx

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 .

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 ...
