On the phone

 


This seems to be a common thing these day - people constantly on their phones, it's like they can't put it down. Guess it's a sign of the times right? My cellphone is usually always on silent, I prefer texts to phone calls.


We were in Hokitika earlier this week and stopped in at our favourite cafe. This is one lunch meal I never miss out on - Eggs Benedict with salmon. This is one place we always go to when we are there, it's like whoever the chef is loves their job - you know when the food you eat tastes like it's been made with love. What's your favourite lunch meal?

I love that meal! It's not something I've seen on a menu for quite a while though. It's also quite a faff to make at home. So I just make some cheese sauce instead - lazy person that I am.

I use text messages too and rarely get a phone call. If I'm out I always have the phone but only for photos.
I'd love to try your eggs benedict and salmon. Sounds, very tasty

Hard to imagine now that thirty years ago a mobile phone was an almost unheard-of luxury :)

Good observation, food made by somebody who likes cooking and cares about it definitely a lot better than somebody going through the motions.

I usually have a sandwich or leftovers from the previous day. We rarely go out for lunch.

Maybe she took your picture secretly? I can see her mobile camera is facing you. 🙂

You and me see eye to eye on mobile habits.

To be IN everyone needs a phone to take pictures, text or call someone, pay bills, etc. Our lives revolve around cell phones. Frontier men wore gun and holster, now adays we all are strapped to the cell. What will the future have us holding?

You're right... sign of the times. I'm as guilty as everyone else. I'm usually looking at a screen of some sort!

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 ...
