Wind

 


I took this photo of B's greenhouse this morning to shower how the cover has come off - that's how much wind we've had. He's got each end fastened down so hopefully today now that the rain has eased off he can get out and sort it out. Today, the 1st of June is the 1st day of Winter.

I haven't done alot with the vege garden lately because when the 0 degree temperatures hit (we are due for those later next week) the produce doesn't like the cold. So I'll wait until later in the season to reorganize it.

...at our nursery we would nail a strap to the base board and throw it over house and nail it the other base board. An awfully long sentence!

That's basically what he's done to one end but he still has to do it to the other.

Looks like the frame survived the winds.

That wind sounds intense. Hopefully B can get the greenhouse cover sorted before the next cold snap, and waiting to revamp the veg garden until things settle sounds like a wise move.

I think that wind is heading north from the bottom of the south . It's certainly been intense.

Goodness gracious. At least the frame is still standing. My last greenhouse collapsed in a big wind event when wind got into one end of it and overwhelmed the flimsy diagonal bracing.

Wind can be a scary thing. My weather app say we might get some wind later today.

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 ...
