Just say no

Horses shouldn't use the cross trainer. Fact.

Hoorah!

The daffodils are out. Daffodils are happy flowers. If the daffodils are happy, I'm happy.

Mmmmmmmmm, olives.......

We had a tapas night at Mary's with Sarah and Jen. However, what happens on tapas night stays on tapas night. The photos pretty much speak for themselves though!

This week I have mainly been very over-excited!

Penguins chewed my coat, a giraffe licked me, I hand fed some wallabies and I stroked some lemurs! Does half term get any better?

You don't think so? Well it did! I have had such an ace week! We went to South Lakes Wild Animal Park near Barrow-in-Furness on Tuesday. It has earned a place in my list of top 3 favourite zoos. There were also meerkats, otters, tapirs, cheetahs, baboons, bats, monkeys, hippos, lions, tigers and bears, oh my. The only way it could have got higher on the list was by having a capybara or some guinea pigs.

The lemurs run wild in the zoo. I want a pet lemur! Or a zoo.

We got completely lost on the way there and ended up doing a 40 mile detour. If a man ever tells you that his sense of direction is amazing, bear in mind he may be exaggerating. I let Matt drive home and I navigated! However, he redeemed himself by being the best boyfriend in the world in every other possible way! He wanted an iPod shuffle like mine for Valentine's Day. We got to the shop to find that they have just started selling pink ones. I got the new pink one and he got the silver one. He rocks! I love him more than lemurs. Even more than meerkats.

Rocking!

Last Saturday I went out with the girls. It got so raucus that I had to take my cardigan off. Woah!

I was disappointed by the lack of snow here this week. We had a few flakes but nothing stuck. My friend Jenny, who is a teacher, got time off school because the snow was so bed. Booooo!

I have been longing after a guitar that I pass every day in the music shop in town. It is pink and has a horse on it. It's only a half size guitar, so it is perfect for me and my tiny carni hands. Well, guess what? Matt bought it for me for an early Valentine's present. He rocks! It rocks! I learnt at primary school but have forgotten it all since then. I've relearnt 6 chords so far and once I've learnt a few more I'll get some lessons. It's so pretty!

Put your hands up in the air

Hands up: who fell flat on their face in street dancing class last night? Just me? Dammit. I'm not getting any better at dancing but at least now I mostly remember what I should be doing! I have a blue knee thanks to the aforementioned spectacular floor dive. Boooo!

I went to the Lake District today to do the safety checks for the school trip I'm taking up there. Hannah (my teaching partner) and I got totally lost and just spent most of the morning driving around trying to find the place we were meant to be going to. They really shouldn't let two blondes be in charge of a vehicle! Also, there was a really loud roaring noise at one noise at one point and I was pretty sure we were going to die in a terrible Lost style incident. It was a plane!

Oh dear!
