Happy weekend

Hello dear friends,

A few things that have interested me this past week and I would like to share with you.

On Tuesday night the Auckland Sky tower looked spectacular,  lit up brightly for Saint Patrick's day - DD took the photo, which is just down the road from where her apartment is.

Over lunch last Friday we were lucky to see in the distance, the Volvo boats out practising on the water {you may need to enlarge the photo to see them}

We went for a walk around the Viaduct and the North Wharf last weekend to take a look at the six boats lined up

Leg 5 of the Volvo Ocean race started on Wednesday, leaving Auckland for Brazil. The race was meant to start last weekend but due to cyclone Pam, it had to be delayed.
This is the worlds toughest ocean race and an exceptional test of prowess and human endeavour, sailing in some of the most difficult and inhospitable seas.

On display is a model of the 'SCA boat' which is made up of over 100,000 pieces of Lego. 
The all women team look great wearing outfits of magenta.

Their motto ...
Amazing Women can do anything and be anything they want.

 Wishing you a happy weekend
hugs
Carolyn


 

Pretty in pink

Hello,  dear friends,

In honour of National Breast cancer Awareness month,  I will share a few pretty pink photos I have taken.
Please encourage your family and friends, to have regular screening tests, it increases the chances of detecting breast cancer early. Having a mammogram could save your life.

For the month of October every year, the Skytower in Auckland is illuminated with pink lights.
From the apartment our children live in, this is the view they can see out one of the windows. 
Thank you, DD for taking this photo for me.

I'm taking a blogging break.
Sometimes a break from your routine is the very thing you need.
Look forward to coming back next week recharged and refreshed.

Many blessings to you,
Hugs
Carolyn
