To the Zoo we go....

We have just collected our car - nice 1999 Subaru Lancaster - Japanese and what became the outback the year after - can not wait till see in in daylight again tomorrow - its 6.30pm and very dark! Very wet and cold!. In fact it has been wet all week - no different from there by all accounts!
I took them to the zoo today, I brought annual passes for us all, cheaper in the long run and they get a newsletter and 2 free passes for family/friends. I just got very lost getting there as its the other side of Wellington. Lucky I have a good map - just can not drive and map read - so lots of comments - this isn't the zoo as I pulled over to read the map again! We found it and enjoyed a wet walk round seeing monkies, lions, tigers, zebra, giraffes, wild dogs, wallaby's, Servals, Cheetahs and some disgusting chimps who much to the kids amusement ate their poo, wiped it straight from their ass and liked it off their fingers - YUK

Found a nice butcher yesterday - nicer cuts of meat and very good price - 2 large breadcrumbed chicken fillets - schnitzels ????(New word on me but very common mean product here), 300g mince and sausages for $10 ~ £4.00 ish.

Right Thursday night and I am off for a nice bath this evening I think. One more day to survive and cinema tomorrow tea time. GNS (Andy;s work) have their very own 150 ish seater cinema straight out of the 0's. very early 70's decor. Anyway they are doing a surprise kids film there tomorrow night - free social club thing. I will find a corner and ask the kids to wake me when its over. Hope there is some beer for the adults!!!

toodle pips for now.
