Walking

 


We have been fortunate enough this Winter to have had mostly sunny cold days. The highs in temperature during the day have been around 14 degres celsius with lows of around 1 degree at night. the colder it is at night, the more likely we will have sun the next day. We've had rain on and off but nothing like flooding around the rest of New Zealand.

Apparently people are dropping like flies with the typical Winter coughs and colds. Every years i get the flu vaccination which really helps cut down the amount of times I get sick. This week has been the first time this year i've been in bed with the flu, not doing too badly I think.

Have you tried Buccaline? My mother was prone to bad chest infections and swore by it. My brother, usually the sceptic, is now a convert and advocates it too..

yes, i used it for many years, i didn't find it that effective, the flu vaccine has been way better, this is the first time this year I've gotten sick and unlike others who have had it for a month, i'm over it in 5 days

Sorry about the flu - one of the things about winter that one almost tends to forget in summer! (But autumn is beginning to approach here now...) I've been taking flu shots every late autumn for over 20 years now, and for me it's definitely made a difference. (Although I suppose it may also play in that after retirement, I also meet less people...)

14 degrees in Winter? Sounds heavenly. Very rare for Canada.
Hope the weather makes for a speedy recovery.

We get the flu vaccine and Covid booster every autumn. They’ve kept us well, so far.

Get well quick. We get a flu shot every year too. Haven't been sick for a very long time. Good to hear you got a light dose.

Lucky you, our new Health Secretary has cut funding for all mRNA vaccines saying that they are more dangerous than the illnesses they prevent.

Nice photo. I like cold nights, I find them easier to sleep when it's cold. Not me being cold, the air! I'm under blankets! I had the 'flu not long ago, the doctor said it wasn't 'flu season, but there was a lot of it around. I make sure to get my shots every year.

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.
