today we went to melbourne zoo which was actually quite a lovely day, despite the zoo traditionally being a fairly miserable place. i'm not a vegetarian, never have been, never will be, i think it's tantamount to some kind of mentalist breakdown, but that said the idea of animals looking forlorn in cages hasn't been my thing either so for a while i was pretty anti-zoo, but when we went to berlin zoo i kind of got over it.
the weather has been exceptionally warm today (and continues to be even now at the ungodly hour of 01:32) so all of the animals were being exceptionally lazy. can't blame them really i suppose but when you've paid $24 you expect a little more bang for your buck or whatever it is that people say. essentially animals in hot weather could be more entertaining that's all. we're all hot you know? anyway, mr jason and mr s jason joined effy, j tho and the senior mixologist for a wander around on the hunt for primates and red pandas, and a very nice time was had by all. i had to leave early to go and do some work which was tedious, i missed out on seeing pelicans and lions and tigers, oh my! but even so it was a very nice day, and the airconditioning on the train home was a delight. i apologise for the rubbish nature of this update, perhaps you should revel instead in frances' lovely pictures of the events aforementioned (click through to see more from the day):
tomorrow we will be going to the beach. if you want to come then you can but i doubt you will.
