Unloading

 


I was impressed last week in Hokitika when I saw this man unloading his truck full of fresh lettuces for one of the local cafes. Locally grown and supplied, the Lettuce Man grows all his produce hydroponically. It's good to buy from local growers.

Linking up with Weekend Reflections and the Weekend Roundup.

Local lettuces are usually best. You sound as though you know these lettuces and trust your lettuce man. I'm a bit suspicious of ours. The growers need to grow and sell to churn out a living and I think they probably use a lot of sprays and chemicals. We grow our own but do buy sometimes, always local because that's whats available

The sandwiches sound good, have you eaten there? I suppose he gets his picture taken quite often. My mom sold her eggs to the local grocers sometimes, other times took them to Omaha to the produce market.

Artificially multiplying the yield can cause problems as we often hear here in the Netherlands anyway, and if anything is kept under wraps it is.

Fun! I think it's good to watch restaurant and grocery deliveries -- a reminder of all the work and steps along the way for us to get our food which it is so easy to take for granted.

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.
