Police


This is our local police station in town - looks like quite an old building maybe estimated construction to me is possibly 1950s? I've heard that it's going to be replaced at some point due to black mould being found in the walls, can't be good to breathe that in. In fact many houses here in New Zealand have mould problems but the government has introduced the healthy homes scheme under a grand where you can apply to have underfloor insulation done. All landlords are required to be a part of this by also having a heat pump and/or a fireplace necessary, no mould etc - too many people get sick otherwise.

So we watched the rugby world cup yesterday - what a load of rubbish. The better team won I think, between the rubbish referee and my team who were poorly disciplined, they deserve it.

Mould is apparently an issue here in Singapore - humidity and heat - but people know that ventilation (moving air) and sunlight are the answer. We have worked over recent decades on sealing our homes up so mould is inevitable and that lack of ventilation has contributed to the problem. Shame about the police station but I get it - once you have a mould problem it is impossible to get rid of.

We thought that the All Blacks eventually got it together, but were up against the most physical and huge team of the tournament. Plus much of the refereeing was doubtful.

That's a commanding building. Looks like a prison without the Barb wire. Where does all this mold come from? NZ has a big problem it.

with an interesting building.

Thank you too for your nice comment. You asked about 'sheep head'. That's a typical game with cards here in Germany.

That's a shame that the mould is so bad that the building will have to go. Impressed that your government is doing so much for implementing solutions to the climate change problem. Heat pumps seem to be one of the ways forward.

Sounds like a new building is in order -- breathing mold is dangerous for sure. Dry rot (a form of mold) is a problem in Oregon too. It's because of the wet climate, so I don't know why they call it dry rot. Our house (when we owned one back in our former life) developed it in the bathroom and we had to rip out walls and replace them -- it never spread or came back so we were lucky.

I am glad to hear about the healthy homes scheme. We are going to have a heat pump installed in our home, and it will save us money and make our air inside our home healthier. Joining you from Mosaic Monday.

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 .
