Rubbish

 

 



Most weekends we like to take our dog Bug to one of the local beaches (Rapahoe), She loves running around the wide open spaces sniffing at new smells. Yesterday it was a high of 10 degrees celsius so we made sure to dress warmly.

In the last month we have been taking rubbish bags to clean up and beach and some of the things we've been finding are dirty nappies, pieces of metal and broken glass, plastic and household items. There are some bigger items like burned engine parts and car seats that we can't take with us. People are so dirty and lazy. Once we get them home they go in the rubbish bin.

Love the name you gave your dog. Bug.😁
It annoys me so much when people throw their rubbish like that, especially in places where you go to walk and enjoy mother nature. We always carry a bag for rubbish too

It’s heartening to hear how you and Bug are not only enjoying the beach but also taking the time to care for it

Unbelievable what gets left behind!
Huge respect for your efforts in keeping the beach clean—every little bit makes a difference.

Unfortunately, it is not better in many places here. Everywhere in nature you will find carelessly thrown away rubbish.

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 ...

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 .

Vondel

  I nthe heart of Devonport in Auckland is this little block of businesses. In my younger days I worked in this suburb as a legal typist for lawyers and to see it now as it is, it's made many changes over the years. This building is surrounded by older style buildings in the main street with businesses such as shoe shops, clothing shops, professionals, cafes, bars, restaurants etc. It's a very upmarket suburb with quite expensive houses along the waterfront. Vondel in the above photo is a restaurant but upon looking up their website, there wasn't alot of information about who they are. Linking up with  Weekend Reflections   and the  Weekend Roundup .
