Kebabs

 


Different foods from ethnicities here seems to be popular and I can see why - European food can be bland and boring. My favourite food types are Turkish, Vietnamese and Japanese. An old photo from our days in Kerikeri.

Weather forecast for this week.

Autumn has really hit here. Last night we had a low of 3 degrees celsius, normally that is a Winter temperature. We have just put the electric blanket on the bed and mucking around with our mattresses as B's back is forever moaning and groaning. Personally I think he's getting old (he will be 60 this year) and as we all know as you get older your body starts to complain. I've started wearing socks to bed and so far we have had only 1 cat on the bed with us at night but don't think it will be long before the others will be doing the same. Here we only get snow on the mountains, we don't get snow in the streets or anywhere else and it's more of a dry cold not like when we lived in Northland where it was very damp. 

Linking up with Weekend Reflections and the Weekend Roundup.

I am SO with you on the food! Darn it. I was in the city and did get nothing from NAMASTE - I blame it to jetlag!!!
Wow that is COLD!!!!
Yes. Ingo turns 60 next year also. The years just speed by, huh?
If you are as lazy as I am, this is what I answered on your comment on FFO:

I like it, too! In our company we live it! :-)
What do you mean by "fb", you know my FB-account - do you mean e-mail? That would be flaviakaiser @ gmx.de - I´d love to learn from NZ on this!

On overcast days, I tend to visit waterfalls or creeks. Good for water photography

We haven't turned the electric blanket on yet but I've got the winter sheets on the bed. 4 degrees here last night and another cool blustery day today, but thankfully no rain as yet. 😊

I'm just starting to sleep without the electric blanket here lol. The seasons are changing
I get very bored with Greek food. At least there will be seasonal changes there too. Would love a Chinese or Indian.

I hope that isn't a sign the summer will arrive early here. We had a rainy day all day yesterday and it cooled back to full winter temperatures. However it looks like next week we will be getting back up to the 80's.

I pretty well stick to American food, like New England stuff the best, Tex Mex is next. I cook or assemble hot dogs, make meatballs and spaghetti, cook egg, cheese, and ham sandwiches, embellish Raman noodle soup in a serving box, eat a granola bar (just one of the two in the package), for breakfast, and the like. And can follow recipes for most anything else.

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.
