hurry up spring

​Hello friends and family,
On Monday morning Pauline drove down from Christchurch to return Bruno. I was thrilled to see them both! In the afternoon, I went to Dunedin airport and picked up grandson Daniel and girlfriend Amber. Their flight from Auckland airport was 3 hours late, so we had Burger King for tea. The driving through thick fog was interesting, to say the least. The team came out on Tuesday morning and did the rounds with the kids.

​Wednesday was surgery day, so we set off at 5:50am for a 7 am appointment. I spent an hour and a half in surgery, with local anaesthetic, getting my face put back together again. All the cancer has been removed so all I must do now is heal my face.

​The team did the rounds again on Thursday. There were a few penguins at home, and conditions were slippery. The kids worked on setting up the new sanitation station by clearing vegetation and moving rocks. We celebrated Matariki by going to the tavern for tea. Another interesting drive. We saw 5 red deer, 2 does and 3 stags. Regular fences do not hold deer – soon they could become a problem to our plants.

Yesterday the sun shone so the kids did some sightseeing. I had a quiet one and relaxed.
Have a great week!
