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.

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 ...

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 .
