Petrol prices


 An old one from Kerikeri about a year and a half ago. Back when Covid hit everyone was hard done by financially The government trying to help reduced petrol prices for everyone. But now the fuel tax cut is at an end and petrol has gone up again to nearly $3 NZD per litre so people will be struggling again as inflation goes up. I'm sure we are not the only country going through this.

Linking up with Blue Monday and Mosaic Monday.

I am so thankful I don´t have to care about that anymore.
They really should work out concepts.
Some have to drive to be able to work, some may work from home (50/50 here) - some drive for fun only.
Here you get some tax-money back when you have to drive, but it´s still not "fair" - not that I have a good solution...

Heavens, that's expensive . We got a fuel bonus over the winter but petrol prices have actually gone down a bit.
You need a bike. An Ebike maybe

That's interesting as we are paying a similar price here in the UK. With inflation running at 9%, times are hard for many.

The prices are pretty much same in Finland at the moment. Used to be higher not so long ago. And it´s pound to go higher than that in near future. I´m so glad I don´t have a car.

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 .
