Green

 


Love it when I see old cars in town - this one I spotted outside my old work last week when we picked up our food shopping. We usually buy groceries through the click and collect service - we order everything online through their website then pick it up the next day and it means we save money by not going into the store and buying unnecessary things. Photo taken just before I walked through someone's cloud of cigarette smoking causing me to cough - ewwww. btw guess who got a letter calling for jury service?

Nights are starting to cool down here a bit, Autumn will be here in March. We don't watch alot of tv, most of it is rubbish but I do have a few favourite channels on youtube that I follow:

The mindful narrowboat

Nicole White mudlark

Sergio and Rhoda in Israel.

I think I would rather learn than watch mindless entertainment.

Linking up with Weekend Reflections and the Weekend Roundup.

I love such cars, too. Sadly you seldom see them here. So there is your blog and Tom's!

I too like old cars. Your find is nice, a Chevy or maybe a Pontiac, I believe. There aren't many of these around here anymore. My oldest is a 1974 Ford Mustang II Ghia at 50 years old. Next is her brother, my 1998 Ford Mustang GT at 26 years old.

Tom is probably right, I was seeing it first on my smart phone screen.

That's a good way of grocery shopping. It's almost impossible to walk into a store and only come out with the two things you really needed

We binge a lot of streaming stuff. Right now we are in the fourth season of Fargo.

I love the car you found.

I always think I'd be so nervous driving a collectible car regularly (instead of just for shows) -- I'd hate to get a dent or scratch. They're so fun to see though. When we were kids in our small town you could tell who it when you saw a car on t he street --now they all look alike.

Thanks for the channel links - I should watch less TV but do like a drama and we have some good ones on here at present. Mr B is in to TV panel and game show and I hate them passionately, so get a lot of sewing done while he is binging on rubbish game shows.

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. Linking up with  Through my lens ,  Tuesday Treasures ,  My corner of the world ,  Wordless Wednesday .
