Hello.
A few weeks ago I went to a talk about Art Deco.
It was very good.
The thing that surprised me about the Art Deco buildings was that the step-like structure you see in the facade of the buildings came from New York, and it was so that sky scrapers would let light down to the smaller buildings.
The Art Deco era was also the era of the flats.
Some flats were built in the gardens of Mansions and some Mansions were divided into flats.
Most of the time Art Deco buildings have a tower so that they could just peek up over the height law that the prime minister had created.
A lot of the buildings also had secret rooms so that they could hide money from the tax collector.
Some had racing stripes on the building 'coz it was the era of speed as well.
There's one town in New Zealand, Napier, that has Art Deco every where.

Hello, I'm sorry I haven't been able to go on all of your blogs lately, the cold has shot me down in flames, but I'll be right.
I'd like to talk about the books I'm reading at the moment, I have finished THE CALL OF THE WILD by Jack London, and I've just started a book by Jackie French that's called GOLD, GRAVES AND GLORY.
Some of my favorite Authors are, Jackie French, Victor Kelleher, Dick Browne, Jim Davis, and a lot more.
Here's some pic's of some books I like.
This one I got for Xmas, and I love it.
This one I just love, it's about this young girl that has had her Dad and her Uncle in WW1, and it's also about how she became a nurse.
During the flu epidemic, in Melbourne after WW1, she was a nurse that was very good at her work and also the year before she became a nurse, she had had the flu.
One of her younger sisters had died, and she herself had seen some people dying or dead.
This one is a very nice one to me, and I think everyone would love it.
I can't fit anymore on at the moment, so I hope you like it.
Mum has booked me in for some medieval talks on dungeons, manuscripts and music, also, mum has booked me in for a stone knapping workshop in a fortnight's time.
