how many smokers carry compasses?

my good chum warren and i went to a tea bar and had some shakes.  they were cold and not 120 degrees C as advertised

they also sold food.  like tomato sauce on rice or spaghetti

here’s a man giving us a lecture on how to extract gold from rocks

and here, on the other side of the planet, is a rock from not too far from where i grew up.

and this driving instructor gives you a free coffee.  but please don’t drink and drive

and here’s an A4 representation of some butter chicken (mild curry for you non-new zealanders).  and some standard breakfast fayre below

we went for a walk down a local beach at lunchtime and came across four little blue penguins

whilst there are plenty of these further out to sea, we rarely see them this close unless they are injured (or dead!)

and it turned these were rescue penguins enjoying some exercise in the actual sea

the two ladies were penguin carers and two of them (the penguins) are to be released tomorrow a bit further up the coast

there was something excellent about seeing them in the semi-wild like this rather than in a zoo or aquarium

soon enough it was time for them to go back in to their cat baskets

such fun

and crane.  two slightly different views
