This is one of the more modern newer cemeteries in the far north. Mangonui Public Cemetery was established in 1954. There is a gardener's cottage to the left and a flagpole at the top, the bottles of water are for those who believe that when you leave a cemetery you should wash your hands.
So as life goes on in the world of the living, we got news on Tuesday morning that my car had finally been bought up from Auckland by our insurance company and had arrived at the mechanic's so we popped down there to check it out. Apart from the missing lock on the door handle, the ignition and my Canon camera it looked the same, was good to see no other damage but the one other thing the thief took was a box of disposable gloves that I use for my job as a support worker, guess he'll probably use it for future illegal endeavours. Luckily I had an older camera (a Fuji Finepix 14mpx) that I use to use about 8 years ago in the bedroom cupboard which use to be my favourite so I've got that as backup. Hoping the car will be back by early next week...
Lastly has anyone received any emails from Blogger saying your blog has been reported for phishing? (I'm assuming this is scamming). I got one yesterday morning then another one later on saying it had been reinstated. No idea what that was about?!?
Linking up with Skywatch Friday.

Glad you get your car back and have such a good back-up cam.
Never heard of phishing and haven't had any emails. At least I'll know what it's all about nwo
I love cemeteries for some strange reason. I love all the different customs. I had not heard about the washing the hands. At many of the Native American graves here, the custom seems to be leave a stone or coin or other memento on the grave. The chief Geronimo is buried way out in the middle of nowhere on an U.S. Army post here in Oklahoma. So many people have paid respects that his grave stone is half buried by now.
No message received from Blogger.
Glad the car will be back soon but too bad about the camera.
