Dry


I took this photo after I finished work one night at 8pm. It's very light at this time of day being Summer here but it has been very dry. We were due for a thunderstorm earlier this week which didn't really eventuate. Alot of peoples water tanks are nearly empty, our is about 1/4 from the bottom but many like us have the option of switching on town supply to fill it up.

Edited to add: yay we had a day of steady rain yesterday.

Linking up with Skywatch Friday, All Seasons and Tom's signs.

That is dry. So different from here people having their own water supply and also connected to the city water if they need it.

Glad you had rain - it's horrible that constant thinking about drought and hoping for rain all the time...I've spent a lot of my life listening to the discussion of dam levels on the news. #Allseasons

It is far from dry here. We ended a walk early today because the path was too muddy.

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 .

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 ...
