My 166 is having a day at home

​Hello friends and family
We got a taste of spring this week with temperatures over 10 degrees and light winds.  On Tuesday I went to the Bluffs with Robbie, and we checked all the traps and collected the Warratah puller to lend to the contractors here.

​Wednesday was my day at the Toptip, and the sunshine brought the locals out, so it was very social. I even turned over $50 so that was worthwhile too.

​On Thursday we did the rounds and then Jan and Robbie went to the Bluffs in the afternoon. Elaine walked Katiki Beach, and I faffed around! The highlight was having Mr 166 at home. Nice to see a real penguin! In the afternoon, I weed sprayed and straightened up a couple of Kowhai trees.

Some jobs are a long way from penguin work so on Friday I cut tree circles, mowed the lawn and washed the car. It is going in for a service and I am too tight to pay them to wash it!
I booked the Moeraki Hall for our Penguin Rescue AGM
Saturday 17th September at 3 pm – put it in your diaries.
Have a great week!
