Breakfast on the Last Day of the Summer Holiday

Our Meh-ness of the occasion could not be disguised.

 

Spelt Scones

For nearly two years, Ben has baked spelt and/or rye bread every Sunday. A couple of weeks ago it was too, too hot to even contemplate having the oven on, so he made scones, which was deeee-licious! Already on this second batch, he switched to spelt with seeds. I'm good with either choices, although the scones disappear twice as quickly. 

The Phone Took This

I was about to take pics of Ben's scones.
 

Job Done

 

Neither of us are Christmas people, but there was something sad about this tree. On the pathway between PaperPlus and Buxton Car Park, 12 January.

I Cleaned My Closet on One of the Most Hot and Humid Days So Far this Summer

Because after I pulled everything out in the heat of the moment, what else could I have done??

Staff Wanted

Am I the only one who stops to wonder what this means??

World HQ

 

Nelson doesn't have a lot of World Headquarters, but I found one on Tuesday.

Sign of Times

 

Loo sign at Ben's work.

Rubbish

Decoration on a fancy rubbish bin behind the PO BOX center. (We no longer have Post Offices - they live inside bookshops.) Fern fronds.

It turns out the rubbish bin itself is a high-tech compacter, (hold x5 regular bins,) powered by the solar panels on the roof of the container. I can't wait for solar and other non-fossil-fuel-generated power to be used in more meaningful ways in public spaces.

Cloud - Tahunanui Drive

Early evening stroll.

Dynamic cloud formation among blue sky.

Gray sky raining almost all day. Caught rain drops on grape vine...
