Bags - Simple Pleasures #3

 


Simple pleasures for this week: 

  • I have the "Z App" for one of our local petrol stations named "Z". Because I use the app when I get petrol, I accumulate points and this week I was able to get a free mochaccino and it was pretty good.
  • That I have the option of buying a keto type bread as I am wheat intolerant with normal bread.
  • We've had rain on and off but nothing major so far unlike other parts of the country.
  • That the rest of the "Squid Game" series has come back to Netflix.

Linking up with Weekend Reflections and the Weekend Roundup.

Dentists are not my idea for weekend pleasures but bonus points are okay.

new world supermarkets do coffee rewards at their cafe's too - last two times I was there I had conversations with strangers (initiated by them). That seldom if ever happened in UK.

Happiness in a bag, good choice for "B". Here you get points, too, but thankfully I have no car no more.

Not having a car, I always seem to be carrying stuff, too...

We have a points card at a gas station. Since we bought a hybrid car, we don’t use much gas however, so the card doesn’t accumulate many points.

I would rather have cheap petrol than expensive petrol with points.

What do the bonus points get you? We are the opposite, we get grocery points that reduce our gasoline cost. An accumulated in incremeted100 points, one per 10 dollars spent, gets 10 cents off per gallon of gas. Our Kroger brand does that at the Kroger gas pumps.

Love it when petrol turns into perks—free coffee makes it even sweeter!

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 ...
