Fat Pipi Pizzas


A street shot from Hokitika last time we were there in Spring. I haven't eaten there but they are right next to the beach so that would be an enticing feature. Fat Pipi Pizzas offer Seafood, Pizza, Pasta and Chicken meals - their menu looks good. For those who don't know what a Pipi is it's like a small type of shellfish that you can either eat raw or cooked. I use to eat them when I was a child but unfortunately these days with so many beaches hit by pollution it's just not that safe anymore.

Linking up with Weekend reflections and the Weekend roundup.

At first, I was trying to imagine a chubby Pippi Longstocking and then I realized it was Pipi, not Pippi. :-)

It is really sad to think we can't safely eat shellfish straight from our beaches any more. What happened to the clean green image? Just an image? Different reality?

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 ...
