Get well soon Regina, look after yourself and hopefully you'll be feeling better by Xmas
As promised, here are a few houses here. I took a stroll around Lyttleton which is the port town that hosted the cruise liner that we looked down on from the top of the hill where the Gondola Station is located.
It's an interesting little town with a mix of buildings but the port is not exactly picturesque (lots of pine trunks stacked up) and the roads that lead down to it are quite steep). It was a rival to nearby Christchurch in the early days of European settlement.
The church was originally built in 1840 but they used "green" timber that shrank and made the congregation quake with terror in high winds so was rebuilt in 1877. There was another RC stone stone church nearby but it was damaged in the 2011 earthquakes and had to be demolished.

Great stuff, Andy. People here have good taste in paint colours.

So sorry for you Regina. I hope you're on the upside of this and are feeling better.

Sorry to hear that Regina. It's going to take some time to get over that too, roughly about six to eight weeks before you feel normal again.

Besides that, it's a great song. He had a fantastic range in his voice that made it even better.
Good to see you again BTW.
Thanks Leighton. Just busy the past few weeks.
I have enjoyed some Queen videos off and on on youtube the past year. Too bad Freddie passed away early, or he would have been touring like Mick Jagger still does. Talking about Mick, just looked up Rolling Stones and sure enough they have a bunch of tour dates set up through July 2024 already.
Trying to destress from work I was trying out some Afro-Cuban music. Mostly Celia Cruz and Celina y Reutillio, a husband and wife band.
I'd love to go in there to shoot some.
