This week I've caught up with the girls again for our fortnightly coffee meet. There are many cafes here in Greymouth and it's hard to find a place that makes a decent coffee.

I'm looking forward to this year coming to an end as it's been a hard one for me health wise. It's almost like ever since I had covid in 2020, my immunity has been non-existent. I don't know if anyone else has had that experience too. This winter was really hard - every week I was sick with a different type of flu due to people coming into my work sick constantly. My body is starting to feel like it's rundown and in need of a relaxing holiday. I'm finally starting to come right and we are due to fly to Auckland next week for 7 days so I'm hoping that will enable me to take some time out from work.

I'm still having issues with all comments going to the spam folder so my apologies if you don't see your comment show up immediately.

Linking up with Skywatch Friday and Tom's Signs.

That immune system thing I totally get. So mzny people have had such weird stuff happen to their health after a dose of COVID that nothing surprises me about it any more. My colleague had got some kind of issue with her knees that started with covid!

Enjoy your trip and be sure to get R&R, rest and relaxation. The after effects of covid sound awful. Be well.

Sorry about your health issues. I had a bad flu few weeks baack. And after that a major nervous breakdown. Was @ psyche ward for week and half. I´m home now but am not feeling all that well to be honest. But i´m hanging in here. Metaphoricly, not actual hanging literally. I ditched my old blog. If you want to continue to see my stuff I´m located at https://bipolaroid1969.blogspot.com/

Hope to see you, if not then it´s goodbye.

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.
