jane had the pain of the day today as she had to take her car for wheel mending and get someone in to look at our hot water boiler which had given up the ghost. wheels are now repaired (tracking sorted) and the boiler should be mended next week, although we can have hot water thanks to a special electric heater thing we didn’t know we had.
dad, marjorie and i meanwhile dedicated ourselves to fun and conservation by driving to Gulf Harbour to get a boat to Tiri Tiri Matangi island
this man talked quietly and gave us a tour of some rare and endangered birds
although it’s probably a bit (lot) tedious for those of you who weren’t there (everyone but us three), the best way to show you what happened is via pictures of birds you won’t recognise …
we then drove over to Shakespeare’s park for a short walk (and watched some kite surfers)
after a quick coffee in an old pump house we went to watch kezia’s swimming lesson
and then came home for dinner
