Natter

 


Always good to catch up with friends for a good natter but not as long as the footpath is not blocked.

Linking up with Weekend Reflections, Shadow Shot Sunday and the Weekend Roundup.

Weekend corridor conversation is truly lovely but not blocking the paths altogether

Aren't those people so darned annoying. Especially when you have to edge past them or give someone a nudge. Move over folks

I often see that. There is indeed a space where you could chat forever and don´t block anyone, but noooooo.... "funny" it´s the same everywhere.

I agree. Leave some room so people can pass.

What a lovely butterfly painted on that box! People do tend to not notice when they block the way through. I'd guess we have all done it sometime!

Nice shot. There´s always someone blogging your way. Be it Super Market or what ever. Selfishness seems to be popular world over.

This is a familiar sight for me in the Northeast United States, especially in supermarkets and even on narrow walking trails! But, on the positive side, loved that painted butterfly.

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 .

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 ...
