Whale Watching


It has been amusing this week watching the news.  Besides the reports about the Thai teenagers in the caves that we are pleased are alive and hope get rescued soon, there is little to watch on the nightly news that isn't depressing.  However we have been on Whale watch as a large Southern Right Whale has come to play in our city harbour.  There is meant to be a fireworks display tomorrow to celebrate Matariki - the Maori New Year.  Instead our council have postponed it a week so that we don't frighten our new friend. 

Has anything made you smile this week?

  1. What great entertainment for all of Wellington. Not that Poppy would be interested.
    I can’t feel happy this week worrying about those poor children in the cave and then shock horror on the news tonight that a Navy Seal has died by running out of oxygen.Aparently his oxygen had a leak. I do hope they don’t tell the boys or they will be too frightened to try and leave. I can’t imagin what the coach was thinking taking children who can swim to such a place.

  5. What made me smile this week was my foster-cat, Parker. he has been going for walks in a harness and leash, and is now quite well-known around my building. People saw him the other evening, and said, “Hey, there’s Parker; he’s out for his walk.” They made quite a fuss over him.
