    February 16, 2020 in New Zealand ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    At 9.45am Damo turns up with a car carrier and takes away the rusty old boat trailer he came for last week- good man.
    We made a plate of pikelets and took them for morning tea down the hill to Yvonne and David’s. After coffee we went up to see the new house they are building with the best view over Moeraki Boulders beach- it will be amazing when finished later in the year.
    Back up to the crib and it was a clean up and baking of some raisin scones in preparation for Marie and Stuart visiting from Dunedin/ Auckland.
    Next it was down to Mary’s for K to help with some jobs whilst I sorted some flights and then put together 3 travel books from the Find Penguins website. They were a bit pricey but so easy to do and the downloadable versions looked great so fingers crossed the printed ones will be as good when they arrive. The website prints out each days “footprints” and the photos posted so it’s saves so much time and will be a great record of our trip so far.
    We had the most loveliest catch up with Marie and Stuart (Pip’s parents) who are down from Auckland visiting some of the grandkids in Dunedin.
    Mary came up and it was a lovely couple of hours in the sun sharing a platter of Evansdale cheese and fruit.
    It was 7.30pm by the time our catch up was sadly over and so after a bite to eat and some crap TV it was time for planning for
    tmrw- skip day!!!
