Monkey paws and a turd on the roof

[pensnest]

Well, now there are monkey paws on my car's windscreen, and a turd on the roof.

The bratlets were delighted by the five monkeys who clambered over the car as we went through Woburn's safari drive. Also by the wolf which crossed the road a car in front of us, and the mating lions. Ah. Nephew assumed that the lion mounting a lioness was trying to eat it, and rashly, I put him right about that, but happily for me he showed little further curiosity. The way the AN's retain information, and then talk it back, they would no doubt have enlightened their Nana if I had been required to do The Talk. I don't know her well enough to be sure whether she is ready for that!

We exercised in swan boats, and watched the sealion show, and saw penguins and lemurs. And had to come home the long way round because the radio informed us the motorway was buggered.

In all, a better day than yesterday, which ended rather dramatically with a groaning/screaming boy and a late-night dash to the emergency GP. AN has a urine infection, but aside from several rather self-conscious mentions of His Infection today, has shown no further signs of being bothered by it. Phew.

Tonight, I sing.

I just wanted to say I love your icon.

And I'm glad things seem to be, er, going well with the children running underfoot.

Thanks! It's one of a set I made from Mucha brushes quite a while ago, and doesn't get out much.

Yeah - they're good kids, but my own are ten-fifteen years older, so I'm really out of the habit!

Oh man, I love Mucha--that's why it looked vaguely familiar :)

[pensnest]

The rest are here, if you're interested. Mucha pics are lovely, I quite agree.

*giggle*

I hope you mean in the metaphorical and not the litteral sence ;-)

Yeah... some kind of crash, all kinds of holdup. But I managed to figure out which way was home, despite the absence of a qualified map-reader (or, probably, any maps). Go me!

It sounds like you're having an interesting visit *g*

It was fun, albeit somewhat expensive - they have so much energy (unlike mine, who are teenagers+, and therefore sleep most of the time) that we had to have places to go and things to do. The urine infection was an unexpected extra, though!
