Happy weekend

August already...how could that be that it came around so quickly.
Life really does seem to go so fast!

 I tried posting some photos of the wonderful old architecture around Auckland City, but for some reason they did not seem to upload.
So I was able to post a few photos taken from around the garden.
The white camellia is blooming, and the dark reddish pansies are such a pretty colour and look like velvet. 

On Wednesday we saw our dear daughter off on her overseas trip.
She arrived in Berlin and is then travelling on to Denmark, Sweden and Finland. She is really excited to be over there visiting these places, as it is somewhere she has always wanted to go to.

We have moved back home and the kitchen is coming along - subway tiles are going up and everything is having a fresh coat of white paint. We are waiting for the electrician to finish some wiring and the plumber to do his thing.
As we do not have the oven working, most of our meals have been cooked on the barbecue, slow cooker or we dine out.  Look forward to sharing some photos soon and what you find with renovations everything seems to take so much longer
Will be so happy when the  tradesmen finish and we can have our house back to ourselves again.

Our new cedar garden shed has replaced a little old tin shed  and is very useful for storing tools and bicycles in

Do hope you have a wonderful weekend.
hugs
