Cafe


This is something very weird I spotted over Summer earlier this year. the DP1 Cafe in Greymouth has this mural on the front window which looks like a person riding on the back of a rather large snail. Strange but very cool...

Linking up with Weekend Reflections, Mural Monday and the Weekend Roundup.

Riding the snail astraddle, like riding a pony. Neat art!!
I wonder if there are more outside tables than just that one.
Thank you for visiting my Blue Monday's little car. I think it came from our daughter's, now 49, McDonald's Happy Meal. Otherwise it was part of a village set, folding up in its own box.

I wonder how many people actually notice what his happening in the mural. I bet you are one of the few. I just gave it a cursory glance when I opened up your site. And then what! You forced me to look and oh yes.

Great find

A bit strange but charming and I'd feel I just had to see inside. Love the colours.

Reminds me of Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco.

Just love that window - the whole image in fact. We would try a coffee there.

Usually it’s an elf that rides on a snail. I know I have seen one, at least in a picture book.

Quirky and very unique, Amy. I had to enlarge it to see what it really looked like. Nice find.

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

Image
  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. Linking up with  Through my lens ,  Tuesday Treasures ,  My corner of the world ,  Wordless Wednesday .
