See what matters

Over Summer it was easy to take so many reflection photos - my town has I think 2 local optometrists, this one nearest us had this display in their shop window. A good way to show glasses.

So this week has been actually pretty mind blowing. I had a client make up a few stories about me that I was able to prove to be untrue, B has been getting less and less work and my car was stolen in the early hours of Tuesday morning - I didn't even realize it was missing because it was my day off until I got a call from the police in Auckland saying a young person had dumped it on the side of the road. Not only that but my camera was in the car.  Thankfully we have full insurance and the company we are insured with are arranging to have it towed back up here to the mechanics to get the door handle and ignition replaced. I'm hoping next week is better.

It costs so much...well not the optomitrist but the glasses that are needed at the end of a visit!

Hope the car is o.k. once the handle has been fixed and that things improve for you both. I wonder who you are insured with. They sound good.

..."See what matters" is a great play on words. We have a shop here call "Eye Site!"

Heavens above. That was a terrible week. Spit on yourself 3 times and shake yourself about to get rid of all those bad spirits. I hope a new job comes up quickly and all evil eyers shrivel and wither away.

As a person that wears glasses, I like your title "See what matters".
A few years ago I had my car stolen. It never came back.

Good lord what a week. Did you get the camera back with the car? At least insurance can sort out the material things, but its the reputational stuff that cuts deeper and is more cruel. We hope things improve again.
Mr T send 'slow blinks' to your feline family. I don't get it - apparently its a cat thing. F

My husband and I both need new glasses. Guess I better make an appointment. :)

Sorry about the camera - did you check TradeMe and similar selling sites? My OH recovered an expensive pair of binoculars like that and managed to get the police to apprehend the perdon selling them.

That´s a great slogan, "see what matters"! I´ll tell my Bro (optometrist).
Hm. It would be like " Sehen Sie, was wichtig ist" - German is an ugly language.

OH!!! What a story with your car! Horrible!
Twice I thought my car was stolen, too - once I just forgot where I parked it (d'oh!) - another time it was towed away. It was "two weeks old".

Glad all will be OK with yours, hope you had no great pics on your cam?

Oh my gosh that was a horrible week Amy, people can be so odd! Glad the car wasn't badly damaged and that you have good insurance, it's definitely worth it ✨

Oh my goodness!! Yep, you need a good week after what you have been through.

Way back when my wife and I were just dating, we went on a trip to see her parents. We got home a couple days later and she dropped me off at my house. I went inside and noticed I had a message. It was from the police department saying that they had towed my car from the airport as it was parked illegally. I was like what, I then noticed that some stuff was missing from my living room. I went out in the garage and my car was gone! My house had been broken into and my car stolen from my garage. It was very disorienting.

OMG...that is a lot to deal with in one week. I'm so glad you had the insurance to correct things but it's still awful to have happen.

Yeeps -- that is definitely a bad week! Insurance is great and I'm very glad you have it, but it can't cover the hassle and the feeling of insecurity when something like that happens, (Also I hope you get your camera back especially if it had pictures in it! )

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 .
