Found this amazing piece of history on my travels up north. It looks to be a fossilised penguin head or other type of bird? Amazing rare find. Lots of other fossils in the piece aswell, including a shell full of crystals.

Kāpiti has been the warmest place in central New Zealand and one of the few that can claim January to have been a summer month to date. However, Paraparaumu has averaged only 20.5ºC and Waikanae 20.2 (more like November). The longtime average is 23.1ºC.
After a little light rain over the first few days of the month there’s been no rain at all, so rainfall is well below average, and over the last week with sun virtually all day, every day, sunshine is now average for the month.
Just a bit of a fun poll to get you thinking.
If you had to live out your Christmas days, would you prefer it was a summer Christmas or a winter Christmas?
I'm sure you've got some excess ham at home or cold roast potatoes.
What are some of your favourite ways to use leftover food from Christmas day? Share below.
It's school uniform season, which means bringing school jerseys out of the wardrobe and realising they are now showing midriff. 🙈
If you're in need of new uniform items or have something to sell or giveaway. Post it on Neighbourly in our Buy, Sell or Free section!
