Quite honestly we were not expecting to see a lot of places still in business, but it was nice to look at the buildings where we worked, the fact that they are still standing was pretty amazing.<br />
<br />
And of course, it was a good opportunity to window shop, we had a great time looking at the latest in Summer fashion and in particular the shoes and handbags, a particular favourite of mine. One of the things that struck me was how the window displays in the stores are works of art, and how fashion just keeps on going around in circles...<br />
<br />
At the Louis Vuitton store there was a window display by the Japanese artist <a href="http://www.yayoi-kusama.jp/">Yayoi Kusama</a>, she is famous for her artwork with dots..<br />

Isn't that little handbag just the cutest..... I was too scared to go in and check out the price<br />
<br />
A few shops away from the Louis Vuitton store is this cute little shoe shop, a well known New Zealand brand , Andrea Bianni, their window display reminded me of the 60's and 70's, but with a bit more bling. Check out the heels on these babies...<br />

The shoes below were all the rage in the 70's, not too much of a difference is there? How about you, did you have a pair of these in your wardrobe?<br />

The weather overnight has been very windy, coming in from the west blowing on shore and making for a cold and blustery walk.<br />
<br />
We had only been walking a few minutes when we came across a Seal pup, lying on the water's edge, not looking very well at all. When we got home we called the Department of Conservation and they told us that there had been numerous calls from the public along the west coast stretch of beaches of Auckland reporting sightings of stranded Seal pups. They were doing their best to get to them all, but realistically they said they were unsure if the pup would survive. Poor wee thing, Mother Nature sucks sometimes.<br />

Linda is a fantastic hand knitter, as well as being the co-owner of <a href="http://www.threadsandmore.com.au/">Threads and More</a> in Brisbane. She was very keen to go down to Hamilton to catch up with some suppliers who were exhibiting at the Quilt & Craft Show.<br />
<br />
I am a lover of fabrics, and do a bit of sewing myself. But I'm afraid that the thought of all those quilts was a daunting prospect. I am in total 'awe' of quilters, or for that matter any form of fabric work.<br />
<br />
The quilts on display were true works of art, and some were more like paintings. Here are a few pics I took of some of them I'm sure that you'll agree they are amazing...<br />

This is a small section of a quilt by an Australian quilter. The theme of this quilt was Aboriginal art, all of the dots are hand stitched, the colours are stunning.<br />

Not far from our house there is this property that has a large field in the front with a lovely stand of trees. Through the Spring the field becomes a bit of a lake, and on a nice day the reflections are just lovely.<br />
<br />
Last Saturday on the way home from the beach we stopped so that I could take some shots....<br />
Enjoy.<br />

<br />
This year the trees are loaded with blossoms, and they seem to me to be pinker and larger than last year.<br />
These images were taken at the Botanical Gardens....<br />

<br />
It's now all downhill until the weekend...<br />
<br />
Fine weather, sunshine for one whole day, no rain people....<br />
<br />
If this continues there will be no muddy floors from a certain dog that doesn't know how to wipe his feet...<br />
<br />
No using the dryer to get the clothes dry, we will be able to hang them out on the line and bring them in all dry...<br />
<br />
We could have some lovely days to walk at the beach, days like last Saturday when the sun came out for a short while...<br />

<br />
and it's Spring. At long last, after weeks of rain we have had two days in a row of dry, warm weather and overnight the blossoms have arrived.<br />
<br />
There is a lovely old villa on the way to work that every Spring looks stunning. I stopped on my way home to snap a few shots.<br />

My job, selling advertising, is tough. Clients are very careful where they are spending their advertising dollars, and this makes it very difficult. This week all I keep on thinking about is the weekend.... feeling a bit like this...<br />

<br />
This month was my MIL, Nan's birthday, one of the firsts since she passed away last Christmas, it was a difficult day for us all, but especially for Phil and Pop who I know were struggling .<br />
<br />
Pop, FIL, has had a knee replacement and at 88yrs old has managed pretty well both with the op and with his recovery. He will be in hospital recuperating for at least 5 weeks, and I know that he will miss his little home and his routine.<br />
<br />
My Saturdays have been busy taking photos of the team that are training for the World Cup in Taekwon-do in England in October. I am really enjoying this experience.. the photos are then uploaded onto the Taekwon-do website for everyone to view, which is really exciting, especially when I see the number of people who view them. <br />
<br />
The weather is very mixed, mostly lots of rain, and cold, with very few fine days.<br />
<br />
But having said that, the signs of Spring are here. Lambs are being born, Daffodils are blooming, blossoms are out and the Magnolia are looking stunning. Hopefully the weather behaves itself..<br />
<br />

We are West facing which means that when the weather is clear and sunny we get to experience the most stunning sunsets.<br />
<br />
Tonight on the way home from work, I captured these images, looking down at the beach and estuary. Although Winter has not gone completely, there is a definite switch in the feel of the atmosphere, Spring is nearly upon us.<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoy these shots...<br />

You are what you eat!!!I haven't been feeling all that great over the past few months. Extremely tired, bitchy, uninspired, headaches continaully, dragging my feet, thirsty beyond belief, always peeing ( probably because I was so thirsty) I thought.<br />
Anyway, it was time to go to the doctor and find out what was going on.<br />
<br />
I couldn't even remember when the last time was that I went to the Dr, as it turns out it was 2009. Oops...<br />
<br />
So off I went, and had my WOF done ( Warrant of Fitness). Blood pressure - perfect<br />
Heart - perfect lungs - still there and working well weight - I had put on 1kg in three years, but the Doc gave me a bit of a frown and a finger wag at my BMI.<br />
Yeah, yeah yeah, I'm sorry but the last time I lost weight and got down to my BMI I looked like one of those poor people from those 3rd world countries. So I am not convinced about the BMI.<br />
<br />
I walk at least 5 days out of 7 for at least 50 mins, and I thought that I ate healthily.<br />
<br />
Anyway, one blood test later I get a call from the nurse to tell me that I am Glucose Intolerant, or in her words borderline Diabetic. Me!!! I asked her if she had the right person and then she said to me:<br />
<br />
"Angela you are what you eat" Man did that piss me off, I'm the one in my family who is always making sure that we eat correctly, or so I thought.<br />
<br />
Anyway the nurse sent me a booklet on Diabetes and eating healthy.<br />
<br />

<br />
This is the sort of food I love to eat, all year around.. so where was I going wrong?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEX2FQcDGA0Uuo-L0sAygEWWOoF7nrE_R4gAEd5hx80LzVqQrvBhDTNSOQHLe3f200oEoUH1AvlJ-NSkazdxE_pFFBXbBCwd8CnCLPmHwmiWwb8Tyj8PYEVRKCE11blvSoySR6xigTRwIM/s1600/healthyplate.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEX2FQcDGA0Uuo-L0sAygEWWOoF7nrE_R4gAEd5hx80LzVqQrvBhDTNSOQHLe3f200oEoUH1AvlJ-NSkazdxE_pFFBXbBCwd8CnCLPmHwmiWwb8Tyj8PYEVRKCE11blvSoySR6xigTRwIM/s1600/healthyplate.png" /></a></div>
<br />
When I got the booklet, I checked out the food plate, and realised that perhaps we were eating a bit too much pasta and rice and not enough of the other vegetables.<br />
So , we have started a big rethink on what we eat, more fresh seasonal vegetables, ( half the plate) a 1/4 of the plate of protein and a 1/4 of carbs.<br />
<br />
The results over the past two weeks have been amazing. Within the first three days the headache went, as did the thirst. After 5 days my energy levels are so high I feel 10 years younger.<br />
<br />
We have cut out the health bars, muesli bars and replaced them with unsalted nuts such as walnuts, almonds, peanuts. But only in very small amounts.<br />
<br />
Free range eggs ( which I get from a lady at work), free range chicken, and more fish.<br />
<br />
A lot less rice and pasta, potatoes and kumara ( sweet potato) only in small amounts.<br />
<br />
So, where was I going wrong?<br />
<br />
I am a huge fruit eater, especially bananas and apples. Some fruit is high in carbohydrate and of course sugar.<br />
Flavoured yoghurts, and of course those Muesli bars, a few too many gingernut biscuits and perhaps the 3 o'clock chocolate craving was wrong on so many levels.<br />
<br />
I have realised that this is a life style choice I have to make now, and hopefully I will keep on to the plan, although I am sure that it will be ok to have a few treats every now and then as long as it is in small amounts.<br />
<br />
Everything in moderation is the way to go.<br />
<br />
As a closing statement, I would also like to add that I still think that they have the wrong person. Another check up in 3 months will tell me how I am doing, although just my extra energy and lack of other symptoms is a sure sign that I am on the right track.<br />

I haven't been back there since early Autumn. I wasn't sure what I would find, and was pleasantly surprised to see some signs of early Spring.... Enjoy!<br />

Not that I mind the frosty cold, the days are just stunning without a cloud in the sky and plenty of sunshine.<br />
I made the most of the weekend frost and ran to the cemetary up the road where I knew there would be some 'frosty' shots to be had.<br />
<br />
Hope you all enjoy this selection for my Wintery Wednesday...<br />

I have combined the meme Snap It and my Wintery Wednesday post this week. I found this leaf at the park, covered in frost.<br />

Yesterday I woke to minus 1 degree celsius ( sorry not sure what that is in Farenheit), but it is pretty damn cold either way..<br />
<br />
What better way to start using my new camera than to take some shots of the frost, hope you enjoy..<br />

I'm feeling a bit like this... jaded, uninspired, tired...<br />
<br />
I'm sure it has a lot to do with Winter, dark when I get up, dark by the time I get home...<br />
<br />
<br />
How're you doing? Do the seasons effect you?<br />

That does not mean that Winter is over, not in the least, we still have a few months to go.<br />
<br />
Today we are bracing ourselves for a huge storm that is coming up from the Antarctic. Anything that comes from the South is very cold and wet.<br />

Hope the weather is warm and fine at your part of the world.<br />

My photography passion and people watching go hand in hand, and I like photographing people when they are not watching....I don't mean in a 'paparazzi' way, but more in a 'candid' way.<br />
<br />
Sometimes, if I feel it is warranted, I ask if it is ok for me to take photos, and this is what happened with 'My Beautiful Polynesian Weddding'. There they were, a huge wedding party, colourful, happy and just too wonderful for me not to photograph. So, I stood back and watched, and decided to approach this lady who was obviously one of the 'Mothers'. In this case, it was the 'Mother of the Bride'. I explained to her that I was part of a Camera Club and we were doing a Set Subject on people in the city and would they mind if I took some photos.<br />
<br />
Not only did she not mind, the bride and groom had no problem either...<br />
I was very careful not to get in the way of the guests who were taking photos...<br />
<br />
Here are a few of the photos that I took.....<br />

Last year, Phil and I found that his work commitments were making it harder for him to be at club on a regular basis, and I was unable to take the club on my own. We made the decision to close our club, and retire as Instructors. A very difficult decision to make, but one we felt was best for the two of us.<br />
<br />
Last weekend we were asked to attend the regional tournament, of the region we belong to. This is where all the clubs get together to compete against one another. Phil was there to help judge, and I was there to take photos. (Surprise, surprise.)<br />
<br />
Halfway through the competition the tournament was stopped, and everyone formed up. And Phil and I were completely taken by surprise when we were presented with a trophy each in recognition to the work that we have done with our students, and the support that we have given our organisation.<br />

Very busy at the moment, work is horrendous and I am exhausted when I get home. The last couple of weekends have been busy with different events..more on that tomorrow.<br />
<br />
For now here are my pics for my Wintery Wednesday project. Overnight we got down to -3celsius, that is very cold. Not windy, or rainy, just frosty.Today has been brilliant, sunny and not a cloud in the sky.<br />
<br />
When I parked the car, while visiting a client this afternoon, I noticed these ducks all together trying to keep warm, not sure why they weren't sitting in the sunshine.<br />

By the time I get home from work, which is only a 20minute drive, it is nearly dark.<br />
<br />
These photos were taken a few days ago, one on my way home from work, and the other when I arrived home it was crisp, cold and clear.<br />
<br />
Hope you are enjoying some warm, sunny weather ..<br />

This year 2012 is the celebration of Queen Elizabeth II, 60 years on the throne, and of just the same importance, or perhaps, more importance is my celebration of turning 60.<br />
<br />
So it got me thinking how would I compare my birthday to the Queens celebration, well there is no comparison, my birthday was by far more important.... after all do you think she had a cake like this?<br />
