Road works


Last time we visited Auckland City we were astounded to see so many major roadworks going on throughout the streets. There seems to be some huge reorganising going on and many businesses apparently are suffering due to the customers not being able to walk in. Unfortunately progress causes the downfall of many people as does lockdown. I feel for them especially since the rest of New Zealand is now down to level 2 but Auckland is still in level 4 due to them having the most positive cases. 

Linking up with Skywatch Friday.

I hope the restoration helps the shops and you get to be able to go out and shop again very soon. A lot of businesses closed down here during our long lockdowns but the tourist season here was one of the best this summer. Hopefully we will all able to slowly get back to our old lives again soon

Road works are a fact of life here.

I think everyone is suffering from "progress". Combining that with COVID restrictions really makes for tough times.

Greetings and Salutations! Spring, Summer and Fall means road work here in the U.S.A. Detour signs are everywhere. We need to allow at least 15 minutes more to get where we want to go to be on time or not. Never know what is ahead. Illinois residents are wearing masks. Wisconsin residents in rural areas are not wearing masks. Appears to be variant is helter skelter. Future?

What will be after level 4????
Here roadworks drive us nuts! They have them all over, instead of starting and finishing one project after the other.

Road construction is a real problem here. I can't drive anywhere without running into some kind of road problems.

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.
