1999: Mum and I had a big 10 minute cuddle until the second alarm at seven. I turned it off and helped the ol’ girl out of bed. We were naughty and had a chocolate caramel wafer for breakfast. We did follow it up with a pear though so it was semi healthy! Went to the zoo today, with Hayley, Dan and Edon. Mum had filled my wallet up with pennies which I used to go on the rides and buy a lizard and a seal. I would have liked the real thing but unfortunately I had to make do with plastic. I spent some time in the buggy and had to wear my wrist strap when I got out (think mummy must have told her of my last adventure here). I wasn’t happy with this, so I got my own back by acting like a dog on a lead and running all over the show, dragging Edon behind. I had a lovely day. We had packed lunch, sweets, biscuits, ice cream and pop and I fell asleep, exhausted, as we neared home.
2019: Used to love the Zoo but the last time I went was for Dims (Now correctly known as Kim) 50th birthday at Whipsnade Zoo 4 years ago. Really should check out Africa Alive at Lowestoft as have only been there to help mum with car boot sales.
Not at work today as Well-being advisor sent me home with instructions to get GP appt but she is on leave. 4 days without medication and not good.
