Skeletons

So I was at The Warehouse last week and saw a few displays up showing Halloween costumes and decorations.

Halloween really isn't that popular here but last year we had a few people knock at the front door trick or treating.

I'm wondering if this year it's more popular or the in the South Island. We will see...

In other news we have bought the house we put an offer on, move in date is 30th October. So exciting!

Halloween has grown in popularity here. It's quite huge in some suburbs of Sydney. And this house. Hehehe. Congratulations on the house. That is very exciting!

Congratulations to the new homeowners! Fun (and busy) times ahead. Better stock up on the Halloween candy just in case you have visitors. But get the kind you like to eat yourself just in case the trick or treaters don't show up..))))

Halloween is a bit too creepy for my taste. It seems the decorations and outfits have veered toward the macabre. These stop short of that, thankfully.

Halloween is a great holiday here. I much prefer to Christmas. The weather is still pretty good, you don't have to buy people gifts, and nobody feels sorry for you if you can't make it home for Halloween.

Would like to have one of those sceletons in my man-cave (i.e. home).

Good luck with the new house and moving. New beginings are always nice.

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 ...
