Correction!

Just a couple of random photos. One is the view from my office window, on a sunny day, not like today when it has been raining all the time!! You can just see King Edward Point, where the BAS base is, in the distance. The two ships to the left are Dias and Albatros. Drukken Villa where we now live is just to the left of this picture - you can't see it, but it is right next door to the Museum.

The other picture is of a lovely elephant seal weaner - I was beachcombing and went a little too close to him and woke him up, and he growled at me, but he isn't being aggressive like a furry.

Ewan has told me that the pale fur seal is not leucistic - but it is just a colouration, like I am blonde and Chris is dark (or was, before he went grey!!!!) - so it is just a blonde seal. Apparently it only happens in 1% of seals. I think you will agree, though, that it is a very gorgeous seal.

We had our drink to Captain Cook beside the flagpole, in the pouring rain, and the new flag was raised up the flagpole. Then a lovely supper with Pat and Sarah, followed by a long wet walk home. Now must go to my bed - if the weather is fine in the morning I want to go on another walk.
