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?

Linking up with Skywatch Friday and Tom's Signs.

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!

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 ...

Family

  Photo taken Spring 2024 in Auckland We have been invited to a family reunion in June 2026 which will be held in Auckland so I'm looking forward to catching up with relatives that I haven't seen in over 10 years.  This week we have: Had a good chat with a friend who has also adopted a rescue dog - must arrange a play date. I've bought some non alcoholic liqueurs to mix up for mocktails which have been very nice as I don't really drink. We had a massive wind storm 2 days ago, we were ok but a good friend who lives 20 minutes away had a bolt of lightning strike her house, the result was a blown up power box inside and part of her kitchen got burned, she had to call out the fire brigade to put it out. And I have a question for you; when you add your blog post to a blog meme or a blog link up, do you expect the owner of that blog to at least come back and comment on the other blogs that have linked up to it including yours even if it's only occasionally?  I actually th...

Hail

  Spring is throwing out some strange weather right now. We don't get snow where we live but it is visible on some of the mountains around us over Winter. Last week around 4.30am we had a very loud thunderstorm with hail. It wasn't until an hour or so later my daughter said this is what she saw out on our deck.  Clumps of hail all over the deck and on her hand. Apparently various other suburbs around town got it too.
