Pink

 

I spotted this display in our local Mitre 10 hardware store. While I love the idea of gumboots (as well call them) for women, I'm not sure retailers have their facts straight in that women only wear pink. I'm not a pink person, couldn't care less about the colour and the gumboots I have are in fact red and blank plaid pattern. I do however love the cup and saucer shaped plant pots on the left.

Colour

 

Nice to see some colour in the local gardening department of the Mitre 10 store - there seems to be lots of cyclamen around at the moment.

Rug doctor

 

Spotted this crew outside the local Mitre 10 store tidying up some of the greenery near the carpark. See the sign to the left saying "rug doctor"? That's a product that some stores have where they hire out carpet cleaning machines. I've used it before and it's very good but now I'm thankful have my own machine at home, with 4 adults, 1 dog and 3 cats we need it.

Coffee

On a regular basis I like to catch up with friends that I use to work with. Usually we go to different coffee shops but the last few times we have met up at the Columbus Coffee Cafe at the local Mitre 10 store. For those of you who aren't familiar with Mitre 10, it's a franchise of hardware stores throughout the country that usually have a cafe attached.

My favourite coffee is usually a large mocha with one sugar, sometimes the staff will put a chocolate fish on the side (a kiwi icon) or a marshmallow.

As I was looking around I spotted that the side of one of the counters appears to be full of coffee beans - that's a novel idea.
