Friday shoot out: Black and Orange

Auckland Town hall at night.

Most days in the busyness of rushing around, blogging and cooking dinner, I don't look out in the sky. This is one of the unusual days, and I was rewarded.

Sam doing puzzles in The Brisbane Science Centre. the woman on duty was very impressed with him.

Our Town hall has a renovated organ. They plan to have organ tours. This is a speciment of the organs.

Mt Albert Baptist Church hosted the Willow Creek Global Summit this weekend. I helped in getting the refreshment and I did the floral arrangement. The Birds of Paradise bloomed in the garden and were ready for the arrangement, together with some spring flowers, ivy, fern and pine leaves and cones.

Golden honey from a Golden bee, some kids get to play this giant bumble bee.

I am going to a Mexican party tonight.

Theme For October 1 - Colors Black and Orange
This theme is pretty self explanatory, just a reminder.

The Klais Pipe organ in Auckland Town Hall

If you sit in the Auckland Town Hall and look above the stage, you will see an imposing array of 82 shining pipes, with a complex control console in the centre.
Behind the façade of the Auckland Town Hall Organ is a very complex system of machinery which produces very beautiful musical sounds. The organ contains sets of pipes - over 5000 in total

Coffee for the garden

While parts of Australia where my siblings, Rose, Charles , Joseph and Helen were devastated by violent storm, we in Auckland have perfect sunny day today.

I came home and started digging my garden, and I must have double the size. It must be bigger than a half a badminton court. I went to a restaurant, Triniti of Silver at Mt Albert and asked for some coffee grounds. The woman said I was lucky, and she gave me 2 bags.

I bit off more than I can chew, they were so heavy when I lugged them to the car. They must weighing 10 kilos. I went there last year for Xmas lunch. That's how I know there are coffee grounds. I mix them straight into the soil.

Got a whole bag of potatoes that have rooted. My friend G. told me that green potatoes should not be eaten, they cause cancer. I told Sam that we can grow them. Sam loves tomatoes and potatoes. This is the first time I actually grow potatoes. There is a plant grown by a previous resident.

Purple flowers in my garden. The bottom pix, the flowers are taller than an adult.
