Waiting in line


 A familiar scene to many people. When we are in full level 4 lockdown this is what we see outside our supermarkets and shops. In some places there have been reports of people spitting at security guards and refusing to wear masks resulting in being arrested by the police. Most are pretty good and this photo was what I snapped while I was waiting in line at our local supermarket last week, really nice to see everyone standing 2 metres apart while wearing masks.

Early on in the first stages of the pandemic there were grocery store line ups. But it really depended on the time of day. Afternoon, it was guaranteed.

Thankfully I haven't seen anyone being rude to security people but I've only been to the supermarket once since lockdown. That's not quite true, I've done a couple of "Click and Collects". So thankful we have them as I really dislike standing in a queue - for anything.

I hate it when people are nasty and mean to security staff.

Happy Tuesday, Amy.

I'm pleased to say our queuing days are over for the moment. Some days I just couldn't face them and went home again but generally they were ok. They were always silent though as people got used to the wearing of masks.

Wish it was like that here, too. Too many dumbheads, sadly.

Spitting... what ever happened to respect? Will this pandemic ever be over?

Too many selfish people who can only think of themselves.

It would be great if people did that here.

My wife and I wear our masks everywhere inside. We shop and eat at off times and we stay away from crowds.

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 .
