Or at least, I was yesterday! Yep, my girlfriend and a friend of ours (Pip!) decided they wanted to go to the zoo. So we did! Relatively early, for me, we set out to Paington Zoo, which is not far from where we are at Uni. We’ve had nothing else to do for the last week or so, so this made a change!

After some randomness of getting there and bus-drivers who don’t actually like you because you don’t know where you are, we finally got there. Student rate to enter and even cheaper because we took a bus! Mwahaha.

I can’t actually remember what animals we saw, not because it was boring or because I’ve mentally blocked everything, but because I was taken by some lemurs. In the lemur enclosure (which is a huge area), they are set loose to roam around the area. Well, they just couldn’t get enough of me! After surrounding me on a wobbly bridge, one decided to completely chill out and lie back next to my foot. He did look incredibly relaxed — or high, I couldn’t quite tell. Either way, we had some great photos of that little guy.

Everything else, bar the monkies which were just absolutely fantastic and so cute, was pretty much a blur. I remember ranting about the lack of giraffe-thingies.. but we later found out that due to an electrical fault, they had actually died. Which isn’t good.

Pip took a good few photos, but they missed actual rhinos.. so we have a photo of her and Becca next to a fake one.
“..You’ve got to love the horn, don’t you?” — my darling girlfriend, Becca.

Anyway! From KFC, to the train (where I slept, with Spank on my head) to bed!

Oh yes.. Spank. Umm.. Pip bought a cuddly toy monkey called Spank. Very imaginative and creative name.

Good day.
