Hi EveryoneAs you can tell today I went to the zoo. The first exhibit was the mercats (pictured - the ones that are not lions or kangaroos). I like mercats because they are cute and really energetic. Most of the animals were asleep or resting but the little mercats were running around. We were in time to see them fed.
I was really wanting to see the 'Big Cats' - the lions in particular. I love lions. Of course in real life they would be terrifying. African people I know hate them. But, to me, they are just sooo beautiful and majestic.
And, of course, we had a big kangaroo exhibit. Even though I have seen heaps of kangaroo exhibits I still like them. This one was chasing people for food and rubbing up against people for pats. I patted it a bit but it was more interested in the little kids.
We had a rest at the hotel for a couple of hours and then went out for tea. Today we went to a Greek restaurant called Dion, which is apparently the name for the house of Zeus. We had pita bread and five dips for entree then I had mediterranean chicken. Oh it was so lush. A little tangy and sooo tender.
After that we went to the only comedian in the show I have seen live before - Judith Lucy. The last time I saw her (in Hobart about 15 years ago) it was all feminist jokes. Not this time! This time it was about turning 40 (two and a half years for me so I did understand). Like me Judith Lucy is single and has no kids and doesn't drive a car. I could really relate but it was perhaps a bit two close to home to be outrageously funny.
The next act was Stephen K Amos. He was just great. A black comedian originally from England he just poked fun at everyone and everything. He played the race card a little bit but also commented on just everything and anything.
In between the two acts I lost my temper completely at the bar. I even scared myself. People were pushing in and shoving me and the bar tenders closed the bar just as I was about to order. I just felt it was unjust and I could feel this rage welling up. Thank God for Stephen K Amos otherwise I might have screamed.
Please pray that I will not be overwhelmed by anything like that again.
God Bless you all

Aw... Meerkats are so cute. I have some nice zoo pictures of them too, at least one which is on my blog.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you were able to hold your temper. That out-of-control feeling is no fun.
Cool pictures of the Roos. Hey, are you near the late Steve Irwin's place? Ambersun appreciate you taking the time to post these pictures and share your stories. Blessings dear one!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are well and having a good time. I love the pictures of the animals. :) thanks for sharing them with us. I hope you will not be overwhelmed any more. I will be thinking about and praying for you. Have a good day today!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a really good day, in spite of the slight issue at the bar. I love the pics---and i love the animals. I don't believe I have ever seen a kangaroo, not even at the zoo.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend. :)
Thanks guys for your encouragement - glad you like the pictures.
ReplyDeleteLiza you haven't seen a kangaroo before - you are missing out!
God Bless you all
