I have wanted one of these thingee's for years... and at the market yesterday the first thing I saw (literally!) was one of them:
ABOVE: I'm not too sure what it's 'supposed' to be, but for me it's going to be our new fruit container! It's so damn cute... I love it ... and it was a BARGIN..... like super cheap.
Do we like it?
Today, sadly at some point we will head for home. But not just yet! We have the whole day to do as we please again... so we will!
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all the Mother's out there, I hope we all have a fab day.
Yikes... forgot... last night we went to the movies in Matakana... and when we sat down I was in AWE of the dome shaped ceiling... cos it was COVERED in roses... either fabric or wood, not sure, but spectacular to see!
ABOVE: you really can't tell how amazing the ceiling looks from this photo....
ABOVE: this one shows them better! Amazing... there were literally THOUSANDS of them.... on the outside of the building, the roof is made of copper domes over the two theatres.
The movie we saw was called "The Very Exotic Marigold Hotel".... and while not one I would have normally thought I'd want to see... it was very good! I'm thinking any movie with Judy Dench in must be good eh?

ONWARD...
Home! Had a wonderful time away.... just perfect. We are definitely going there again... hopefully in a couple of months.

Fish 'n' chips for dinner tonight, then TOMORROW... I pull finger and get some weight off! I saw so many GORGEOUS clothes in boutique type shops in Matakana ... that I loved. Of course, none of them would fit me right now. INCENTIVE. FEELING VERY MOTIVATED.
End of Day: lots on my mind.... lucky I'm not easily fazed.
Then again... I am sometimes.
ON TRACK: WILL be tomorrow.
nite nite.

I've been dying to see that movie! Glad to hear you enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day!
Happy mothers day to you Chris! Sounds like you are having a great time!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day
I've been wanting to see that movie and now I will for sure....bet I won't have roses on the ceiling though.
ReplyDeleteyour market find is great!! yes, i love it too!
ReplyDeletehappy Mothers day!
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh how pretty that looks I too want to see that movie maybe when it comes out on DVD, I got mothers day slippers today and we are going to watch movies all day, and HAVE Roast Prk for dinner.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mothers Day Chris, enjoy your day...
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on Judy Dench - she is fantastic! I like the new purchase. We have a similar wire basket with two tiers that I got from the Warehouse for about $10 - perfect in the apartment for storing fruit with limited bench space. In your case with a large family it will be very useful, I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteHope you are enjoying the last day of freedom.

I'm so happy for you to be having such a lovely weekend away. So nice to just get away, relax, have some special time together and be spoilt! Happy mothers day. Cheers Glenys x
ReplyDeleteglad you had an awesome time away
ReplyDeleteenjoy mothers day
Happy mothers day chris. hope all went well while you were away. sounds like you had a good time mate. well done
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a nice Mother's Day!! It's always nice to get away!!...debbie
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you got some time away. A perfect mothers day for you:)
ReplyDeleteI love the stacked glassware. I would use it for fruit and veg as well. Just the pretty ones though!
Here we have 1 cinema with the roses thingy except I forget if it's fake roses or just carvings. I expect it must be the art cinema. Glad you had a good getaway. This year I hope we get to travel somewhere - nothing too expensive. Just a change of scene.
ReplyDeleteYou got a new thingy, that made me giggle like a nine year old boy in health class....
ReplyDeleteI think roses on the ceiling must provide superior acoustical characteristics.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to you too my beautiful blue eyed friend!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous ceiling....that took some time to make it look like that.....beautiful!
I need some incentive to lose weight...you'd think feeling like crap would do it...but so far that isn't even working hahahaha
NEW CLOTHES MIGHT JUST BE THE ANSWER hahaha
I wonder what the story of the roses is. Must help with the acoustics too.
