Groups


Thanks to no more lockdowns groups of people may no longer be a thing of the past. Borders here to be open to kiwis in Australia with international borders due to open too. This photo taken at the top of Vulcan Lane in Auckland City was taken over 2 years ago when life was sort of normal. 

Linking up with Weekend Reflections and The Weekend Roundup.

It will be weird to see groups and unmasked people standing and talking with each other. Come Monday, wearing masks is optional for us. I'll still wear one when I use public transit until I feel comfortable.

Masking is good to save one from aerial allergies too!
Lovely street capture.

F might even be able to visit family again at last. She used to go every year and hasn't over produced her quota of greenhouse gases for about 3 years now. That's a long time to not see her family.

I actually went to a house party last night with maybe 20 or so people. It felt great to be with a group of friends again.

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 .

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.

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 ...
