Tyres

 


B and I went for a sort of road trip over the weekend. We drove out to the Lower Buller Gorge from home, took us about an hour and a half. We stopped in Westport to top up his car tyre pressure, in the end it turns out a sensor is faulty and there was nothing wrong so he will have to get that looked at.

 


It was a cold Winter's day and sunny so we didn't stay outside the car for too long but it was good to get out.

Very rugged country. The river doesnt look too high and I love the bush clad hills. So different to where I live now :)

A beautiful area. You are so fortunate to have it within visiting distance (I would love to go there again). Thanks for the memories :)

Caltex. That's a sign I haven't seen in many years. Isn't great to get away from home. Lovely scenery.

It's always refreshing to explore new places, even if it's just a drive away.
The views are breathtaking, Amy!

Have a great week ahead!

Oh, don´t you hate that?! My company car told me the same and I panicked. For nothing, pressure on the tyre was OK!
(That was years ago)
But nice to go on a raodtrip And nice to see CALTEX (we don´t have that here).

Did you get as far up the gorge as that swing bridge across the river to a peninsular where they tried to build a tunnel through to divert the river so they could fetch gold out of the dried up bed? (White Creek) That's a good day out too. I love the Buller Gorge and up at that swing bridge place they have clearly marked out where the land moved in the big Murchison earthquake 1929. It really is a scenic place isn't it?

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.
