Green machine

 


While driving through town last week I noticed this green machine outside one of the local restaurants, I'm thinking they were cleaning the windows? Greymouth has had quite a bit of Spring rain, some of the parts past where I live got excess rain but my property and the areas near town were ok. I remember last year at this time it pretty much rained every day. I'm predicting another long hot summer with another drought.

My daughter and I were in our local "Warehouse" store the other day, strange to see they already have the Christmas products out and it's not even Halloween yet.

Like my grandkids, I love a random big machine.

I really dislike the decorations for a celebration up so far ahead of the occasion in the stores. By the time the occasion arrives, one is fed up with it all.

I alway stop and take a photo of anything big and unusual that I see. Christmas stuff is coming out here now too. Way too early, imo.

I hope you are wrong and will be spared by a drought! Haha, funny you. Christmas stuff is out here since late August. I do not like it. What is Christmas for kids these days? When I was little it came to the stores in December and even that was too early, kinda... But then... Is Santa even real ;-)

We currently have a similar aerial work platform in our street, but it's a blue one that's used for maintenance and painting work on houses.
Here too, Christmas is already taking center stage in the garden centers with large amounts of decorations

Looks a bit to heavy for a cleaning machine.

An expensive way to clean the windows, but how else are you going to get up there?

All the cities and states here are still spending their covid money on things.
I went mall walking the other day and the stores are full on Christmas here. It hits me wrong this early.

It's an interesting machine. Makes one wonder its purpose.

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 .
