Royal Melbourne Zoo
Took a trip to the Royal Melbourne Zoo on the weekend as it was a bank holiday and the sun was out. In fact it was around 35°C and we were worried that the animals might not be moving around much. How we were wrong, they were shagging and all sorts… nah nah just kidding. The lions were roaming; one was chomping on a piece of meat while another just continued to roar. There was a Puma that just continued to walk around in the same circle, over and over… made you dizzy just looking at him. The monkeys were fun, one Orangutan looked like he was about to throw up over the side while the other had wet a towel, draped it over his head and was sound asleep under the burning sun. Still haven’t seen a Koala yet, it was just too hot for the little guys I think. The kangaroos were sitting under trees enjoying a cool drink.
Watched a young lady get over excited at the site of a peacock, she wouldn’t leave the poor thing alone, the peacock was to fast for her and she never got her photograph. It was fun to watch her chase the peacock around the park and shouting to her friends to quickly take a picture, at least that is what I think she was shouting. Classic photo time incident.

A huge congratulations to Mick and Dee on the birth of a beautiful baby boy on the 2nd March, which for those of you have forgotten was Mothering Sunday, which makes him that little bit more special. I tried to calculate the probability of having a baby born on Mothering Sunday and got as far there is one in seven chance of it being born on a Sunday and one in twelve of it being born in March.. Pally you are always quick of the mark with these ones… help me out.
