Wendy Weka

After work today we headed down to Lake Brunner to stay for the weekend. We went past the turnoff and straight to Greymouth to get some groceries and then backtracked to Stillwater to turn off to the lake. Half way between Stillwater and the Lake I stopped the car to check the tyres. Yup! As I had suspected, I had a flat. Haven't had one in years.

Being two females on holiday the boot was FULL. So just unloading it to get to the spare was a mission on its own.

Anyway, I'd got to the point of trying to get the wheelnuts off when a lovely man stopped and did it all for me. Huge advantage in being two females standing helplessly on the side of the road - well okay so Kiwilizzie was standing helplessly and I was crawling around on the ground looking like something prehistoric.

Any way, offending tyre dealt with and we headed on to Brunner and our holiday house. While kiwilizzie was sorting out the keys I was visited by this Weka here. Typically of a weka, she was a nosy wee thing and into everything. Then as soon as I got my camera out she got the huff and headed away.
