Inside

 


A young man waiting for coffee at my favourite cafe, and they do make the best coffees.

It's been a week for us of thunderstorms, rain and hail. Welcome to Spring. Last year at the same time we had constant rain week after week until finally in Summer we had drought restrictions and daily temperatures of 32 degrees. I'm predicting the same for this year. 

Linking up with Weekend Reflections and the Weekend Roundup.

It's always handy to have your smartphone with you in case you have to wait somewhere.
Climate change is doing strange things to the weather.

Sounds like Climate Change is coming to NZ also. We came there in December and everything was beautiful. Is Christchurch put together now? Fletcher Construction had a big job, my grandmother's maiden name was Fletcher.

Christchurch has been working hard to get to where it once was but there is still a section of the city that is unstable and abandoned. Fletcher construction I think is still going.

Waiting Funny enough they were taking about waiting in church today because the Lord sometimes does not give us the answers right away and we then need patient but trust He will in the end give some answers. I hope you have a lovely week ahead.

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.
