We’ve been having some really grand days out recently. Our latest trip finally took us to the zoo (my daughter has now stopped nagging!) and this time we went to the South Lakes Wildlife Park, which is near Barrow-in-Furness in Cumbria (which you might know as the Lake District). Now I’m not overly fond of zoos; I don’t like to see animals cooped up that belong in the wild, but this one, as zoos go, was really nice. The enclosures were large and the animals had plenty of space. There were no orangutans ...
7:03 He stepped out of the house, the sound of door bells jangling. He cautiously and curiously walked to the left of the porch and snuck up close enough to see the bunny run away, which had impelled over three yards from the last time he saw it within the house, before disappearing out of sight. It had obviously started sprinting away once it heard the bells, he thought. Those bells had been bought at some Christmas shop years ago, and when they had been first placed upon the door, ...
It was the last overnight ride of the summer, and we had a family of four that really didn't want anything to do with us.

First we looked around at the remains of the nearby Spanish fort San Marcos, and found some pottery, plate chips, and bone by the water. It has no archaeological value because it was not in a layer of sediment, but we did not keep it, anyway. We had to kayak a little over a mile downriver, and against the incoming ...
It's completely dark outside and I have about 15 candles lit. I bought Mao today, thinking about starting it tonight, have wanted to read it for a while but didn't find the time or something but now I'm thinking about getting around to it, we'll see. I also bought underground by Haruki Murakami, want to read that one too... I'm a bit worried about my dog Spock. he's 8 years old and in his last check-up last spring there was a vet student that gave him the shot but she didn't check ...
