Vegetables

 


The signs on the left seen in Westport last time we were there, I'm thinking the owners are tired of people squeezing and bruising their produce?

The place where I work has just started selling produce and it's my job to do a quality check on them twice a day. If there are any that have been over squished then I have to put a reduced price sticker on them. The chillies and capsicums in my garden have finally finished but we got quite a few off them over the Summer/Autumn season, now we will replant them in Spring.

Linking up with Weekend Reflections and the Weekend Roundup.

"DON'T BLOODY WELL SQUEEZE THE FRUIT" is a sign I might expect to see at a bathing beauty competition. Note the spelling of SQUEEZE with a "z".

Somehow the signs could repel people away?

One does gently press the fruit to see how ripe it is I suppose.

At the Farmers markets here you see similar signs. Sellers get really mad. But I can see their point. Having to sell it at reduced rates hurts, especially if you're a grower

Its a troublesome sign but I never buy a mellon without testing it ripeness.

I can imagine the frustration of the owners.

Happy Saturday, Amy!

Jim here -- I like the squeeze sign, my sign would say, "You squeeze you buy. It's all good or we wouldn't have put it here."

Hah, I love the sign.
Dealing with little kids when my son was a cub scout, they love to put their fingers on all the foods before they picked which hot dog or hamburger was theirs. Hard habit to break for them.
To this day when I buy a carton of eggs, I open the carton and jiggle each one to make sure it has broken yet.

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 .
