Happy New Year

View from my work over the Pohutukawa Trees

With Christmas and the New Year finally over it's time for new beginnings. Yesterday was my last day at work and tomorrow is going to be the first day in my new job. We had very quiet New Year celebrations here - the fire works display in town was sadly cancelled at the last minute and we didn't hear any local ones at home. By the time I finished work I couldn't wait to sleep and apparently everyone else was in the same boat. I'm hoping you had a lovely Christmas and a happy new year to you!

Good luck in your new job.

We had a quiet New Year until midnight when the fireworks went off. New this year were some of our neighbors shooting their firearms into the air. Hope they were shooting blanks!!

They were wise to cancel the fireworks - so many fires around the country because people were letting them off in dry and/or windy conditions. I felt for the firemen who had to attend them instead of enjoying their families at home.
I hope your new job works out well. Mxx

Happy New Year! That's a nice view. There were a few fireworks here but none were very close to where I was. Now back to work.

Happy new year Amy. My celebration was in bed with either food poisoning or some stomach bug 😁 of which I am still recovering. Good luck in your new job!

That is a view that will really stir your heart in the morning (or any other time for that matter).

The holidays are finally over.

Now we are curious to see what the turn of the year will bring? Hopefully more peace, more insight into sustainability for the whole of nature. It is urgently needed!

Thank you so much for this wonderful post,

Warm hugs from Heidrun, I wish you and your family a healthy, happy new year 2024

Wonderful photo of trees and the horizon.
No fireworks here. I live in the middle of nowhere.

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 .
