Car Chargers

 


These eco-friendly car chargers are cropping up everywhere all over the country for those people who have electric cars. Not my thing but whatever...this one taken in Darfield near Christchurch just before Christmas. 

It seems the west coast is one of the few places including Auckland and Northland around the country getting a proper Summer. But now the North Island has just had minor flooding and excessive rain. It is so dry here that the grass in my backyard is starting to go brown. We need a little bit of rain.

Our next car will be electric so I keep noting where they are so that it will be manageable. And we won't be buying one from you know who. Ick. #Allseasons

Cute charger. Ours are plain - and pop up everywhere, too. I would not drive such a car. If there is a thermal overload it takes forever to get the fire out, I think the technique is not really ready yet?

If I had the money I would like to buy an electric car. But not a Tesla.

Pretty cool looking car chargers. I'm not ready to go EV, but I think there's a hybrid in my future. Teslas are extremely popular where I live.

We have lots of them here. I understand that the faster you want your car charged, the more you pay. So casinos, museums, and some coffee shops have them. So you have something to do while you are waiting around.

That's the first time I've seen Cheeky Charlie appear on a charging station. We appreciated the recent rain up north but need more. The countryside has been looking quite dry.

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 ...
