Friday night street eats

 

Last Friday night our local council held an event "The Friday night Street Eats" in the town square so my daughter R and I went along for something to do. It was a hot afternoon with the temperature at about 24 degrees celsius so the first thing we bought was an ice cream each. Apart from that there seemed to be the usual food trucks like coffee, donuts, hotdogs etc - the only unusual food stall we saw was a group of people cooking Indonesian type food but it was too hot for that. A fireworks display was due to go off later that night about 10.30pm but we didn't stay longer than an hour. I don't think we will probably go next time but enjoy the photos.

Maybe next time it will grow a little and they'll have more variety. It sounds a good idea for a summer Friday evening

Good idea for bringing the community out but it must be a bit of a downer for established businesses who rely on Friday night eat-out trade. Pity they couldn't find some more slightly exotic stuff than donuts.

This looks like fun! I bet the aroma of the food in the air brought people out to enjoy a lovely day!

...locally, "food truck rodeos" are popular!

Due to a mixup with e-mail addresses attached to Skywatch Friday, I've missed several of your comments on Owl's Farm posts. Now that I've finally straightened things out, I see what I've missed and will try to make it up with more frequent visits to your lovely site. You and I have Tigger (and Mum) in common-and I'm always happy to visit New Zealish sites. This particular post makes me all the more regretful that my husband and I didn't get a philosophy gig out your way (some 30 years ago!).

Thanks for visiting the Farm, and for this very interesting blog that takes me away from things north of the equator.

I am so very aged and confused that I only now realized that you are the Amy who was Tigger's Mum. As I'm fond of saying (to anyone I run into): don't get old. It's just embarrassing.

Well hello Amy! Nice to see you. Beginning of this month we had -23C. I so envy you.

In my hometown there´s International Food Market couple of times in the Summertime. Normaly there´s no food"trucks" in here. Haven´t try anything "too" foreign. I´ve visited local places though. Italian-, Thai-, Chinese-food mostly. And Kebabs of cource. But that´s about it. I seldomly eat at restaurants. Most of times I just order them delivered to my home.

I like your photos here. Nice Street Photography!

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 .
