Ultra clean


I think from memory this photo was taken through the window of the car somewhere maybe around Newmarket in Auckland. It seems like there are forever road works going on especially over Summer which seems to be a silly time given the fact that there are more people around on holiday. Traffic here is pretty bad and mostly bumper to bumper. I wish they would add more roads but a bit impossible in the cities.

The constant constructions are ways politicians to create low unemployment stats

So many works are done here too in the summer. On an island which lives from tourism it's ridiculous.

That is a large orange 'boy's toy' parked there. Mr B wants one of those for our place in NZ. I'm not sure about the efficacy of that but if it keeps him out of trouble.....

I've had to accept the reality that road construction projects never end!

Our countries are so alike that I often know it's Aus or NZ before reading the details.

The potholes appear every spring and the roadwork ends with the first snow accumulation, etcetera. etc...

Since Gabrielle roadworks are just a fact of life around here, Amy. There is one huge slip on our way into town which the council obviously doesn't have a plan to fix as they have concreted the witches hats in place.

In Finland too that´s every summers bother. In here you just can´t do roadwork on winter.

Road construction is a problem everywhere. It's very much needed but very disruptive when it happens.

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 .
