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 ...

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.
