Feeding the fatty robins
I went along with some friends who are studing the feeding behaviour of NZ Robins,
so we gave them mealworms and watched what they did!
(they either eat them of store them for later)

Who's a Monkey?!
If you haven't seen this, watch it NOW!
Some would say it was insightful, some would say it was blasphemous, but I think it's great! :)

A night at the Opera...
Well last night I became a real gentlemen by going to the opera, in a suit... by myself!
I went to see a really odd but REALLY great opera called The Trail Of The Cannibal Dog, which is an adaptation of the famous book by Anne Salmond.
It's about Cook's second trip to NZ when some of the Maori ate some of his crew. Cook wouldn't let them retaliate, so they caught one of the Maori's dogs (Kuri) and gave it a mock trial and ate it! It also covers events up to Cooks death.
This is a true story, but of course in the opera some artistic licence was used... which was, well hard to describe really - I guess you could say abstract!
Loved it, and big ups to Hadleigh who had a really big part - very impressed!! :D

Dad's visit...
Well its time to put up a few more pics...
Dad came to visit for a few days, so I took the opportunity to show him around wellington and visit the places I like the most!
No. 1: Kapiti Island
Takahe - THE coolest bird!
Dad, Simon and me - the idea was to make simon look tall (god knows he needs it) but I didn't go through with it... sorry Dad, now you just look a bit crippled!
Going for a swim after our walk - it was a hot day!
No 2: Cape Palliser
Baby seal... Awwww!
Dad and Fenn on the steps to the lighthouse, LOTS of steps
Dad at the lighthouse
POWERFUL MACHINES!!
Bulldozers are used to take the fishing boats in about out of the water at Cape Palliser
No 3: Matiu/Somes Island
SKINK!
No 4: Karori Sanctuary
