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.

Good to see folks being patient.
Unfortunately you will always get some unpleasant fools

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 ...

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.
