Hello my fellow blog readers, it’s been a while since you heard from me, and when you do hear from me I bore you all to death, how fair is that I ask? lol Since writing last, Bronny has received her mobile phone and hardly uses it, she probably has most of her texts for the month left which will save me money because I thought she would be excited about having her own phone and go over the amount of texts.
We went to Chester Zoo in the half term break, which was OK I guess apart from the fact that Chester Zoo isn’t REALLY wheelchair friendly and nor was it a quiet day, we queued for about half an hour to see the elephants as they were indoors, and by the time we got to what we thought was the front of the queue, people were not moving on, what was actually happening was people were giving up and leaving that’s why the queue was moving, not because they were being polite and giving everyone a chance to see. I obviously saw nothing but the backs of ignorant people’s heads and bodies. I don’t think the kids managed to see much more either, Simon couldn’t even get a photo for me because too many people were hogging the viewing area and not letting anyone in. :( We didn’t even find the big cats, which was a shame because I love the big cats too :( We couldn’t work out where they were on the map compared to where we were so we didn’t know which way to turn or anything, so we missed out on that. The icecream was delicious, it was Karry Gold icecream, looked like a cornetto but tasted better lol. I took plenty of photos of the animals that we DID manage to see including a picture of a Rhino’s backside, which I have subsequently made into a postcard for my postcard crossing hobby :) One out of my five postcards has arrived so far, but that was to a UK address.
I’m still waiting on Finland, USA, China, Taiwan and now I have one to send to Australia :) it’s all good fun and I can’t wait to receive my first postcard, it will be special to me indeed. I sound sad, but it’s something that Caroline introduced me to and it sounded really interesting and fun, so I soon got addicted. As our village isn’t exactly “touristy” I have had to make my own postcards online, but that doesn’t matter because they cost cheaper in the long run than spending petrol money to get to the place and then buying the postcards individually. Yes I end up with 50 of the same design but I’m not sending to the same people so that doesn’t bother me in the slightest.
My next design is of a squirrel, I thought of a caption for the picture too, but I don’t know whether or not I will use the caption or just keep the beautiful picture unmarked. I know not to resize it this time though because the bigger image that bonusprint have to work to the better the outcome.
Simon is playing WOW again, he has really gotten into it over the last few days, it keeps him from being bored anyway. :) Bronny and Euan are playing Unreal Tournament 2004 together, or at least they were. That keeps them busy for quite some time, until Bronny gets bored that is.
Bronny goes to camp on Monday, they’re camping out in tents instead of using the dormitories, it brings back memories because I went there with my Year 6 of school, and we camped too! Doesn’t time fly? lol She’s going to be doing canoeing, archery and at least one evening walk in the dark to see how much wildlife they can see. Brilliant! I bet she will thoroughly enjoy it, it should cure her fear of the dark, or make her worse and we’ll have to collect her :S
Hopefully she’ll be ok, too embarrassed in front of her friends to admit that she’s scared and then realise that there is actually nothing to be scared of, that it’s just dark, just not light, nothing else changed apart from the creatures, and none of them can harm her. lol
I am scared of flushing the toilet at night, I always have been, I used to be scared of something coming up out of the toilet I’ve seen so many daft horror movies where monsters and even normal creatures have come out of the toilet, and I’m scared of getting my butt bitten. lol I don’t know why I’m scared of using the flush, but when I was well I used to run back to the bedroom and shut the door before the flush finished, no idea what I thought might happen if I didn’t lol I’m still scared of it now but have had to grow up a bit as I’m unable to run away from it anymore lol
That’s all from me for today, I’ve waffled on inanely again and probably not ended up saying what I planned to say in the first place lol
Huggles to all.
