Hanging around

 


I stopped in town one afternoon on the way home from work and noticed this man and his dog waiting outside one of the shops for someone inside, turned out it was his wife and she came out with a bag full of stuff. Just another hot dry Summer's day...

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

love these photos of my old hometown, although some of the buildings have changed and what you think of as old buildings are new to me as I remember some of the buildings before them :)

But it is always striking that it is so quiet on the streets. Completely unlike here where I think it is sometimes far too busy.

They appear very patient in their wait.

I have been surprised how many farmer types i have seen trawling around the supermarket doing the household shopping. It seems that it's a chore being shared out more often these days. Bro does the household shopping here - and is less budget conscious than SiL would be. I am contantly thinking of ways to use oversupplies because he doesn't check the fridge and pantry before he charges off hunter-gathering.

At least the dog wasn´t lonely. Or the man, for that matter.

A man waiting on his wife while she shops - at least he had his dog to keep him company on that quiet street.

I think from memory it was a Sunday afternoon so pretty quiet.

The man looks like he's been waiting long enough and has given up! The dog is still alert though.

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.
