Three more low-res camera captures, and one better photo featuring me, from the construction of our New Zealand house in 1998. #dejus365 #ThrowbackThursday
ThrowbackThursday
Construction of our NZ house begins, from 1998. (Sorry about the low quality of the pictures; they’re from low-res captures of an old video camera tape.) #dejus365 #ThrowbackThursday
Happy Independence Day! To mark the occasion, a throwback photo of the top of a Disneyland riverboat festooned with flags, from when Jenn and I moved to the US in 2001. #dejus365 #ThrowbackThursday 🇺🇸
For last week’s throwback I showed the house plans; this week, here’s me standing on the empty lot where our NZ house would be built, when we got possession of it in 1998. #dejus365 #ThrowbackThursday
In 1997 we purchased an empty lot in Albany, Auckland, New Zealand, and started planning to get a house built. These are the faxed plans of a base layout with many customizations (as indicated on the third image). #dejus365 #ThrowbackThursday
It’s been a while since I did a throwback post. Here’s the Auckland skyline, with the Sky Tower under construction, from 1996. #dejus365 #ThrowbackThursday
A trip to Wellington, NZ back in 1996. Photos of the cable car, Beehive parliament building, the city from a hill, and me and Jenn dressed up in Grandma’s house. #dejus365 #ThrowbackThursday
It’s been a while since I posted a school photo. Here’s my third-form class picture from 1983; my first year at Long Bay College in NZ; what is called high school in the US. I’m in the top-right. #dejus365 #ThrowbackThursday
In 1995, while renting our second flat in NZ, the owners let us put in a little garden. And so began our decades of gardening projects. #dejus365 #ThrowbackThursday
Happy 2nd birthday to Paladin. Here are a couple of pictures from when we adopted him from the Cat Adoption Team shelter in 2017. #dejus365 #ThrowbackThursday 🐈
