Continue reading →: Fallen Statue Now at Canterbury MuseumThe fallen statue of John Robert Godley which stood in the Square until the February 2011 earthquake, can now be seen at the Canterbury museum as part of the earthquake exhibit.

Continue reading →: Colourful BuildingsI spotted these colourful buildings at the end of Connal Street in Woolston. I’m not sure which street they actually front on to. They really grabbed my attention as it’s so rare to see any building painted like this in New Zealand. We are kind of conservative like that and…

Continue reading →: Back to the Rapaki TrackI used to go up the Rapaki track quite a lot. It’s a long walk and a slow gradual climb (til you get to the end and it gets a bit steeper). But the location is stunning and the final view down into the harbour is wonderful, so it’s well…

Continue reading →: Breeze Lazy SundayLate this afternoon, I caught the last two songs of the band that was playing in the Botanic Gardens as part of the Breeze Lazy Sundays (free music in the park). I’d been in the museum looking at the excellent Earthquake Exhibit they have on at the moment and came…

Continue reading →: Cupcake GoodnessI made cupcakes tonight for a party I am having tomorrow. I don’t usually make cupcakes, but have been meaning to have a go at them for a while (I’ve owned the stand for over a year!). They are orange and lemon flavoured with butter icing. But some have cream…

Continue reading →: Countdown FerrymeadAt long last they are pulling down my local supermarket. It was wonderful having a supermarket just 5 minutes away. It was always busy, but it was a nice supermarket, with a good selection of food and the fresh produce was pretty good. So I’ve really missed it. It’s turned…

Continue reading →: Merivale MallI was in Merivale this morning so popped into Merivale Mall to have quick look. As you can see (and most locals will know) a section of the mall has been cordoned off due to safety concerns. Quite a few shops are still open – including Quinns and Photo and…

Continue reading →: Dusk TonightToday has been a bit grey and overcast with a little bit of rain, but about an hour ago I noticed the sun was coming out just a little, and then noticed the sky was going all dusky pink.

Continue reading →: Roller Derby at Pioneer StadiumI went to my first ever Roller Derby event tonight. Yikes it looks tough, there’s a lot of falling down (note the pretty serious knee pads they’ve got). It was team Gaga version team Glee.

Continue reading →: Ferry Antique Centre(Post update – they’ve moved to 282 Ferry Road – look for their new green building). I had no intention of going into an antique store today, it just kind of happened by accident really… but boy am I glad I finally went into the Ferry Antique Centre on Ferry…
