And another week has gone by....

And it is back to Monday again. Not much done during this past week. Haven't found any new shoes as yet, but I am on the look out. We went into the city yesterday for a look at the Triangle Centre, that is soon to be no more. Stewart Dawsons City is no more, just the front door and sign still left fo the moment but will no doubt be all gone within the next week or two. Must take a wander round the cordon to get an updated view on things happening. PWC building is being stripped, the top two floors have their coats off (not sure what the fancy construction word would be lol). Our city is slowly being stripped away.

Wilkin's Formal Wear & Stewart Dawsons

Corner Colombo & Cashel Streets

 I started my Wedding dress hunting here on 11.1.10. Tried on 4 dresses, neither of which ended up being the one I picked. But the lady who assisted me was very helpful. Quite enjoyed it all, started things all off for the wedding plans really.

Westpac Building in process of being demo'ed

Looking into SD's, you can stairwell up to Wilkin's 

Looking along the building

Unlimited School, or what is left of it, they were working on it

Looking down Cashel

Never went into this building, but my cousin started working here for Westpac.














Had a couple of training days up stairs in the JPL training room. Our managers were supposed to have a meeting the following Tuesday, just as well it wasn't the Tuesday they were there.

The last of Stewart Dawsons

It's sad to see what's left of our city, and still had to imagine what it's really going to look like when the cordon all comes down and we can mosy round to see the empitness left behind.














































Well this Monday I didn't do a lot. I caught up on my TV programmes that I'd videoed. I watched a couple of Gilmore Girls' episodes (I do love to watch these). I was a good wife and did all the washing and changed the bed.


Then I decided to make some cupcakes, I borrowed the recipe from my friend's blog Major Cake, Vanilla Cupcakes, which the batter tasted delish and the smell was amazing. I've decorated them with green and yellow cream cheese icing. I find cream cheese icing to be quite yummy, not so rich as butte icing can sometimes be. Thanks Clare for the recipe, they're yummy.

Baked, the 2 in the corner were too deep and sank, great to
fill with icing though!!!!

Decorated with Green & Yellow Cream  Cheese
Icing!!!! They're yummy!!

I also managed to complete my latest cross stitch, which I would show pictures of, but I can't just yet until it has been received by its intended person/people??? As to when it will be, not too sure at this stage. 


Until next time.... Enjoy the wonder around you....
