Have smexy new tv, PS3 and Soul Calibur to make sure I don't act my age.
Had a wonderful day at the zoo on Saturday. It was a georgeous day, and the zoo had lots of facinating animals. While I know some people don't I personally think a well run zoo is a good thing. Obviously keeping animals in captivity isn't the necessarily the best thing, but given the destructive march of humanity across the planet and the rate at which habitat is disappearing, sometimes captive breeding programs are all that are keeping many species from extinction. This in turn requires money, and opening the doors and displaying the animals is a good way to do this. Plus allowing people up close makes things more real. Suddenly creatures aren't just something off the TV, they're right there. Hopefully this will mean they are more likely to want to protect and care for what they have seen.
The meal in the evening was the restraunt's usual standard of damn good, and I'm really grateful to everyone who came. We had to kidnapp Mike, Amber adn Reece, but we got them there in the end. Then spend most of Sunday chatting with them and Arkayen who was also down in Bath that weekend.
