Warning!


Winter is here. Rain has been forecast since last week and we are starting to see snow on the mountain tops.  After a particularly stormy night I drove down to the nearest beach about 5 minutes from home and took this photo of the private airfield next to the walkway. We have an approximate average temperature of 10 degrees celsius during the day expected.

Noise is not good, but 5 minutes to the beach, oh, lucky you! :-)

You are the West Coast now, every forecast has rain in it somewhere. I read an English blog the other day the mentioned daytime temperature of 13C. It's summer there to maybe you aren't doing too badly. Here is unbearable; I'd take your 10C any day (and the rain). Tigger sends hongi to Bruno.

I wonder what your winter will be like down there. 10o is plenty cold.

Yes indeed, the airplanes would give a lot of noise when you're near an airport. But to be near the beach is good news!

Danged airplanes!!
Our high today is about 33C. That's a little high for me.

I used to live near an airport once and it was very noisy. It was good that we only spent a year there. I don't miss that at all.

Noise isn't too scary, but blast area?? That sounds more concerning.

We have 10C in the summer many times. So that´s not so cold for me.

Not cold to me either. Our winters can plummet past -30.

Living 5 minutes from the beach is really good. I suggest headphones to hear TV, radio, reading a book to offset plane noises.

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 .
