One from Westport on New Zealand's West Coast. This iconic building in this town is glowing in Motueka Sand and was planned to be the local town hall. This one was built in 1941 but the original one was built in 1873 after coal started flowing out of the port and the town began to grow but the materials used back then which was roughsawn timber and corrugated iron were not going to last into the next century.
The local council then commissioned this building possibly designed by architect Archibald MacDonald) during a period of depression in which the war then followed. Sadly it still goes unfinished despite a public funding campaign that was started in the 1960s.
So yesterday my 2 adult children and I had to get covid tested. Sigh, long story. They both work full time at McDonalds, apparently last week it was a place of interest where a positive case had been. 2 of their co-workers have tested negative but late Tuesday afternoon the 3 of us started feeling under the weather....sore throat, headache, snotty nose, feeling lethargic. So we are all waiting for our results to come through and unfortunately it's put a spanner in the works with us being able to work. We're staying home and isolating to be on the safe side but fingers crossed we test negative too. If we all weren't triple vaxxed I dread to think how we'd be feeling...EDITED TO ADD: our tests came back negative.
Linking up with Skywatch Friday.
