Westport or Nelson


No that isn't my family in the photo, just some people I spotted when I was sitting in the passenger seat of my son's car. Anyway, we are starting to setting into being in a new town and the first thing we did on our first day here was buy some warm clothes so now we have collections of leggings, sweat pants, sweatshirts and long sleeved shirts. I've started work and most of my shifts are late ones 4 days a week but everyone is friendly and helpful. I had a work colleague comment that I'll probably be promoted to being a supervisor again like I use to be in no time but I'm not sure I want the extra responsibility.

At some point I think we need to try food from the Chinese takeaways across the road in this photo but until then I'm linking up with Skywatch Friday and Tom's Signs.

Good luck in the new town and the new job. I know, having more responsibility is not always a good thing work wise...I work 3 times as hard as my colleagues and feel a lot more stressed, but earn just slightly more.

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. 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 ...
