Zoom

 


This was from last week, the ladies in the photo were walking so fast it looked like they were zooming along. I was watching a weather forecast online last week which covered the whole of New Zealand and it looks like we are in for quite a rainy Summer this year - something to do with La Niña so we will probably have days of rain then days of heat and humidity.

Linking up with Weekend Reflections and the Weekend Roundup.

A little bit of rain is always good to keep things green and growing. Humidity though is killing. Hope you have lots of nice sun shiney days

I hope for you that the effects of La Niña are not amplified by climate change.

I don't like humidity, it makes everything uncomfortable. Hoping you do get some nice weather. I like your new header.

Your description of the ladies "zooming along" made me smile—what a lively scene! It's always fascinating how a moment can capture such energy and motion.

Hope you get a good amount of dry sunny days amongst the rain.

Too bad you can't send some of that rain up here. We could use it.

Maybe they were out on a power walk. Brighton used to be the only place open on Saturdays in the year I started work. It was a really vibrant place back then. Colourful.

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 .
