No eXit


This is down one of the side streets in town where the library is. It's been never-ending sunny Winter days here with the cold at night getting down to low of between 0 and 6 degrees celsius so the latter isn't too bad. We are still trying to dig out all the dirt from under our house so that the underfloor insulation can be completed. Sometimes when I get up in the morning although we have newish carpet over original Rimu floor boards it's still quite cold on my feet. Will be good when that's done.

Pretty clever finding that word, "Exit", painted on the street surface. We are about to your coldest (next week??) days.

She´s going to a dead end. Hope you´ll get the insulation done before it´s more cold. Nice shot!

Your winter looks good. Hope your insulation comes in soon. We live ground floor and the cellar is a pain in winter.

Notice that the trees don't lose their leaves in winter, which is different from here in the northern hemisphere.

Our friends in Blenheim were so lucky that their floor had almost a metre gap to the ground. A group of us helped them insulate under the house, the youngest of us crawling underneath the house! You could tell the difference straight away..and walking barefoot on wood is a lovely feeling!

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 .
