Emma's Photo a Day 2018

I believe these are carrots at the front, and they are taking their time ..... the bok choy meanwhile has pretty much gone past it's usefulness.

Slows new days for sure, to be honest just glad I remembered to take a photo.

Baking time, delayed due to the birthday person not being there at the time. Pina Colada Cake with Caramel Glaze.

Another overcast humid day, possibly not the best environment to walk up Mt Eden, but a delightful view as always.

A trip to get the lay of the land in my soon to be new area including a trip over the motorway to the Otara Markets where I have not been before.

Just me so the guest changeover has to be fine. Hopefully I got it right and in acceptable condition.

It was a pretty bleak day, grey and rainy, working and home. Hence a picture of one of my bookshelves.

It must have been a bad weather night because I heard the jingling of a bell early this morning and then felt this lump land on my bed, and she's veeery choosy and when she decides to come inside.

Sadly not for me, I merely got the joy of picking it up, setting it up, and no doubt will have to troubleshoot it for its lifetime.

I have a mobile next to my desk which when I’m tidy and on top of things I can view it’s delightful colour, but if I get busy and just start piling things on top so I can’t even see underneath anymore I know I have to start getting those things done. Today, half green space.

I was promised a spectacular set of lungs and public nuisance ness but "Jorge" was on good behavior today for an afternoon stroll around the park, lulled by the sound of our voices and the gentle rockiness of the pathways. On to bigger and greater public thoroughfares next.

Another extremely hot day, and was out in it, trying to walk a new boardwalk at Hobsonville that was in theory open but then actually not open, but there are still plenty of tracks to cover in the meantime, and the boardwalk does look like it'll be pretty nice when it does open

First day back to work for 2018 and I couldn't make it, was feeling rubbish, go it was ginger ale, panadol and nap time for me

It's been a long first week back readjusting to working life, but a insanely hot day making it a delightful relaxing time out on the deck

A lovely evening for some tennis viewing, so warm even after the sun had gone down.

Going for a walk at lunchtime whenever the weather is semi conduicive to doing so, taking a photo along the way will need to become a habit possibly but hopefully I don't need to end up repeating these too much. This is the weirdest wharf ever built, but people still manage to find it useful.

The Pohutukawas are pretty much gone from flower now but the bees are still taking advantage of whatever is still left

Time to get back in the work frame of mind ......

Watch dog is on patrol

Still pretty bleak outside, but luckily no branches down on my car

We should be thankful summer lasted so long without it but the stormy weather has arrived, and makes for a pretty lazy day.

A bit dramatic today, planned just to have a wee stroll in the afternoon sun, but upon arriving to the park where we were meeting up , found out someone had just been standing on the rails on the bridge over the motorway, and had then tied a noose to the rails, but fortunately then wandered off the bridge. Due to multiple calls there was then two police cars, a helicopter, two fire engines and an ambulance on site within a few minutes. Turns out I had also seen the guy walking down the street as we drove in after talking to the others who had seen him on the bridge. The police picked him up and we confirmed their photo for them so they could then get him some help. So a good end thankfully but most unexpected situation!

Task before going back to work, get my 2018 wall planner filled in and ready to be filled with exciting things to look forward to .......

A beach shot to start out another year of photos
