Saturday coffee


Last weekend my daughter and I drove out to our local shopping complex to have a look around. I had been looking online for some of those scented drawer packs that make your clothes smell yummy and in the end I found some at Bed, Bath and Beyond on sale. Anyway I happened to snap this photo of a lady enjoying a coffee outside the cafe, it seemed to be such a perfect thing to be doing on a lazy Saturday morning.

Good for her. Making the most of having some spare time on your hands.

I miss the covered walkways outside shops that were so common in the older towns in New Zealand.

Great scene.
Sometimes I regret I have no kids (we fought so hard about it, Ingo wanted, but I did not, now I´m too old).
Here you only get (as far as I´ve seen) only lavender. I´d fall asleep, LOL. And smell like a Granma!

Now that is something I thought you would be doing also

Great place to sit and enjoy a coffee and people watch. Those are nice looking tables and chairs.

...social distancing isn't a problem at the coffee shop.

We will post a photo - just for you - of a lazy Saturday afternoon on the edge of the Ambracian Gulf in Greece.

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 .
