Changes...


Last week after my haircut appointment I wandered through a few streets in town to see what was going on. Temperatures are starting to cool down here with us being at the end of Summer and slowly going into early Autumn. This street scene is next to the town square, there is a coffee truck to the right named "MASH" like the old 1970s tv series, it's usually popular in the weekends when there is alot more people about, most are at work during the week.

Linking up with Skywatch Friday, All Seasons and Tom's signs.

The 'Mash' truck looks novel.

That reminds me of the main street in Methven at high noon on a weekday. Next you expect to hear the theme tune and see tumbleweed come rolling through.

I used to watch MASH on TV and I also later watched the series on DVD. As I recall I then had the choice of background laughter on or off, and watching it without added audience laughter gave more depth to the series.

We have a much smaller coffee trailer that parks on main street every day. They sell homemade pastry too.

Love the MASH truck and peaceful setting. A couple of mornings a week a little coffee van visits our small community.

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 ...
