Thanks for the comments, everyone!

Thanks for the comments, everyone:  so many questions :-)

  1. JK: it's great that you got a new hockey stick.  Is it a composite?  Let's hope you get lots of pucks rippling the net!
  2. Hi, Lindsay: no I haven't seen any Apteryx Mantelli (Brown Kiwi birds) because they're not indigenous here; they're from New Zealand.  But I have seen some Buteo buteo, Milvus milvus, and my personal favourite, at this website....
  3. Hi, Ryan: my middle daughter had to rush off the island to get here; she came later than me and Clementine. We were worried that the wind would shut the ferries and float planes down, but she managed to get to Vancouver last afternoon and fly out.  Where are you going from Seattle?  Have fun, and keep the reading up.
  4. Hi, Catherine: I'm glad you are enjoying Mrs. Knight at school. I'm sorry to hear about the snow!  I'm hoping that when we get back it's warmer and spring is on its way!
  5. Hi, Mrs B!  Nope, I'm not in the jail; in fact, it is a very expensive house now.  The dog does live there, and is very friendly, no doubt hoping for a hand out!  I think the flower pots would h have to be a class project; it'd be too expensive for every student!  They're actually famous characters over here: Bill and Ben the Flower Pot Men!  I remember watching the tv show when I was child :-)
  6. Kobe, I'm usually driving when go past the McLaren factory, and don't have time to snap a photo - I saw another McLaren today - a kind of burnt orange colour.  He was fast...tooo fast!  I'll try to get some snaps soon.
  7. Thanks, everyone, for the comments.  I've got a couple of snaps I took today.  Today I picked up my middle daughter at Heathrow airport, and we went for a walk by a river where we did some geocaching.
Here's a bird for you, Lindsay: do you know the latin name for this one?

We also went Geocaching: we found three (that's Gillian - who is seriously Jet-Lagged having just landed an hour before this, Clem and my Step Father, John).  This is the first one we found. 



Have a great day!  Mr. N

  3. Hello there, I am in the Seattle hotel. We are going from Seattle because the flights are cheaper, and we are used to Seattle, we like going for lunch there. Today, when we went downtown, we went by the gum wall and put our Wrigley's(R)mint gum on it. Blech! We will be at Kona tomorrow and we will be at the Mauna Kea Observatory sometime.
