Spring is almost in the air
I must be getting older because the clock seems to be spinning very fast almost out of control. Next thing you know it will be Christmas!
Frenetic as usual.
Work is great although it amazes me how some academics can let themselves get bogged down in the politics & forget about enjoying their jobs.
Had new guinea pigs but Frogboy & Chocolate Freckle (th pig) came to a misunderstanding about how stairs work & now we are back to 2 pigs (Zooer Untamed’s Treacle & Princess Pea’s new baby Panda who is the most talkative pig on the planet expecially in the middle of the night – squeak, squeak, squeak)!
Have lost a couple of chooks to age but looking to replace with babies come spring proper. The zoo continues on.
Kids think it’s time to get in the pool. Bbbbrrr – no quite warm enough yet but won’t be long.
ZooKeeper spending 2 days a week in Sydney & 1 day a week at Gold Coast casino. Feel like I’m a single mum half of every week – don’t know how they do it frankly.
Mum & Dad currently OS – Scotland, USA, Canada.
Planning to head for Sydney myself for a fantastic looking conference on visualisation techniques for teaching science students & managing 1st years. Hopefully we can arrange things so I can go:)
One plant is dead. Other going much better.
Went to The Animal Farm at Maleny a couple of weekends ago. Was great, kids had a ball, not the relaxing at the farm weekend I’d envisaged but good none the less. Yet again we proved that husbands cannot be relied upon to successfully cope with sprogets alone. Leanne & I had to go back to work on Mon, boys didn’t so they were left (with specific instructions on how) to pack the cars & transport children home safely. We ended up with half the fridge contents going to the wrong house, we ended up with 2 families worth of sneakers & Zooer Untamed came home sporting an egg for a forehead that turned into a spectacular bruise as a result of walking into a car door (although it could be said the last wasn’t particularly the men’s fault it just happened on their shift)! Some days we wonder whether this is all deliberate so we won’t ask them to help.
When I get the chance to breathe life is very good:)
