Humidity

Auckland Airport - November 2023

Last time we were in Auckland in November the minute we got off the plane, the humidity hit us. That's something we don't really get in the South Island but we are in the beginning of an El Nino season this Summer.


Last year was very very hot and dry whereas this year so far most of the country has had huge amounts of rain and small amounts of sun. At least the garden doesn't mind.

Kind of hard to remember 'hot and humid' here at the moment as we're dealing with variations of snow, rain and ice ;)

In Singapore recently my kiwi friend and I commented on that 'Auckland airport smell' - what is is like getting off a plane there early in the morning and smelling that vegetation smell, greenery and humidity. It is always a 'coming home' smell for both of us even though neither of us are from Auckland.

Humidity get to me. I didn't really know how it could be until I got off a plane in Puerto Rico. I thought I'd never be able to breath on my vacation! Fortunately, it was okay near the water.

I can understand that feeling. After living in the desert so long, I feel the humidity first thing when I travel.

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 ...
