Hi all,

Emma, it probably didn't make the news in the UK, but a penguin, normally resident in Antartica, washed up in New Zealand,

After rehabilitation, he was called 'Happy Feet' and put onboard a Research Vessel going down to Antartica.

Lowered into the sea, just off Antartica, he immediately turned round and started swimming back in the direction of New Zealand :-0

The story (or part of it) is here:

Happy feet i've got happy feet, tippy,tippy,tip,tap,tap :-D
Morning all, How is it in your neck of the woods? Sunny and
breezy here today so far, Barbra am looking forward to Strictly
but not Bruce, retire man for goodness sake and give someone
else a job.
I hear that he will still be Brucie but who ever calls him Sir Bruce
will be his favourite, theres a surprise, Not.

Now have a good day all ((((hugs)))) from Roryx

Emma x :-D

Allan

Morning Barbra,Allan and all,

Cloudy but mild out with a little wind.

As you say not long till the 12th Barbra, I look forward to next
year at caravan, paid fees this year with no benefits of being out
there. grand daughter and her boyfriend were the only ones to use it.

Allan mine being a static is a great base if we go to various places but
most of the time we just relax at the site and potter about.

Have a great day all~~~~~~~Rory to Barbra((((hugs))))

Hello Barbra and all,

it's good that you have an early hospital appointment, Barbra. it will save you all that time worrying about things.

Weather here has changed dramatically; storms and rain over the last couple of days. We even lit the fire this lunch-time as the temps dropped so much.

Emma, when we lived in the UK, we had a little 10' caravan. Every time we planned to use it we had torrential rain :-(

Mind you, when we did manage to get away, we had a great time :-)

Take care all

Allan

Not too bad out and here we go for Autumn, where has the
months gone to, such a busy year re GP, hospital and other
