Mr 88 is magnificent.

​Hello friends and family,
The pattern of penguins coming and going continues as we work our way through the season. The penguins coming in to moult now are our breeders. These are early days, but the temptation is to make a roll call of who we have seen and who has not come home yet, but that will only create stress!

The 44s are home to moult.

​Our fledged chicks have been very adventurous. One has been found in Kaikoura, one in Timaru, one at Shag point and one downtown Dunedin! These 4 chicks were all natural fledges so who knows what instructions their parents gave them!

​The big dry continued until Friday when we got 11mm of rain, along with a temperature drop. On my trip to town on Wednesday, I could not miss the autumn colors – I am just getting into the swing of summer! 

too soon.

​Fortunately, I decided to get a man in to paint the house and he finished it on Thursday. He cut the big hedge as well. I am on a roll here. I decided to get an electric lawn mower to save carting my mower to Hampden to mow the lawns there. I have not yet decided which mower I will keep where. The new one is much lighter than the old one.

All done and dusted!

Have a great week!
