Spooky sky

The terrible Australian bush fires recently affected our sky in New Zealand. I took this photo at 2pm, no filter.

Sharing with Our World Tuesday

A beautiful morning in Weymouth

Whitesnake and I have decided to spend some time exploring our neighbourhood. We've lived in South Auckland for years but haven't visited as many local places as we would like. It's spring time here in New Zealand and quite wet recently so as soon as there was a sunny day, we hoped in the car and drove a short 10 minutes to Weymouth. A beach, some benches and a walkway awaited. Definitely will be visiting again.

This week we met out new GP and she's gong to be a good fit for us. Whitesnake and I had our blood tested and all is looking good. That's always great news.

Nothing else to report for this week but looking forward to Easter and my birthday over the next couple of weeks.

Have a great weekend!

Whitesnake and I celebrated our sixth wedding anniversary with delicious home made burgers. Whitesnake made the bread too! He's such a wonderful husband. 

Haircut for me

My parents came for a visit and stayed overnight. A good time was had by all.

I think that's everything. Have a great week.

Life Goes On

A week after the devastating terror attacks, I've been trying to stay busy. 

A year after my detached retina surgery and all went well at the optometrist. Eye is still looking healthy, no cataract as yet and I'm getting new glasses in a couple of weeks. 

My eye a year ago 

Earlier in the week, I was featured on Poets United website. 

I'll leave you with an evening SkyWatch.

See you next week

Another Beautiful Day In South Auckland

 I'm loving the weather this week; sunshine but not too hot. It's also been an expensive week as Whitesnake needed a trip to the dentist. That's all from me today, have a great weekend and I'll see you next week.

Valentine's Day

Hi everyone,

Whitesnake and I celebrate Valentine's Day every year. All relationships have ups and downs but I do believe that since we have been together, most days for us are like our version of Valentine's Day.

After we enjoyed a sleep in, our neighbour popped in for coffee and a chat. Whitesnake and I prepared home made pizza together and spent most of the evening watching Game of Thrones. My husband is a huge fan of Game of Thrones but I'm watching it for the first time. I used to laugh when Whitesnake watched the show because every time I walked into the room, there was either bare breasts or fighting so I didn't believe it would be my cup of tea. I'm actually enjoying GOT (which we have started watching from the beginning) and looking forward to reading the books soon.

A relaxing day at home together is our perfect Valentine's Day. Did you celebrate?


Below is a photo taken from our back door which I have shared with SkyWatch 
and Our World Tuesday

Rescued Hens

These little beauties used to live in cages until our lovely neighbours adopted them. The girls look so much healthier than when they were first brought home. Hubby and I feed them when our neighbours travel. This morning, they were waiting at the gate for us.  I love the clucking noise they make when they hear us coming and the fresh eggs are delicious.

Community Pantry

Look what we discovered while we were taking a walk this morning; a community pantry. Available for the community to drop off food for the less fortunate to collect as needed. Hubby and I dropped off an item we had left over from a Christmas hamper. A wonderful idea.

A Huge Explosion

Earlier in the week, hubby and I were watching an episode of Criminal Minds. One of the characters on the show was trying to defuse a bomb. Suddenly there was a huge noise and our house shook. It felt and sounded like a large truck had crashed into the side of our house. As you can imagine, it was quite a shock. The neighbours who were home came out of their houses and we tried to figure out what had happened.

A little while later, we learned that there had been an explosion at a factory in our neighbourhood and a man had died.

Scary stuff. 

That's all from me today.
