You all fell for it didn't you! Dictated by commercialism to woo your partner. If you love them then woo them whenever you like, not when the shops say so! The one day of the year it's expected of you. Where's the romance in that! If you want to be romantic then do something when your partner least expects it! Trust me. It has way more impact and meaning. Come on people, be individual......... Moan over.
On a lighter note. Took Zazu and Asbo out to meet the visitors today. They loved it. Asbo is very entertaining and Zazu is very good when he's out and about. Good job really, for a five foot bird!!
Weather was great today so everyone was in a good mood. Zoo was busy and all the animals had extra treats and showed off well. Spring is definitely in the air. My surprise took another step closer too. Had confirmation so barring any disasters it's going ahead. More to follow as i get it. Keep tuned in :-)
There's a few nights of clear skies over the next few evenings so the telescope will be coming out again. Awesome. Bring on the stars.
I keep farting Mike Oldfield tunes...... Doctor says i have Tubular Bowels!

Today was a day
Unlucky for some. Today is Friday the 13th.
Not so bad for me. Had a good day of fact finding and eye opening discoveries. Trawling through legislation sounds pretty dull but the information i got, well, it never ends! As soon as you get to the red tape you realise there's a bit more of it just beyond! And then some!
Weather was pretty pants too. Heavy rain being a pain. Tomorrow looks brighter so i reckon i'll take Zazu out for a jolly around the zoo. Asbo too, so if your around come and say hi.
Watching a show about classic cars. They are doing a car that i used to own. Now i feel old! Thanks telly :-/ Good show though.
Not much else to report really so a short blog this time.
Fruit loaf and tea for tea.
My mate Sid has become a victim of ID theft...... He's now called S
Chest freezer.

Darwin
Today is Darwin day. Celebrating the birth of a genius.
Not the only person to come up with evolutionary theories but widely seen as the discoverer of evolution of all living things and writer of 'The origin of species'.
Most of my working life has been dedicated to animals and is inspired by great people such as Charles Darwin and Sir David Attenborough. I would have loved to have met Darwin but i have been lucky enough to have met Sir David Attenborough.
In other news.....
My truck no longer creaks! and i had my hair cut. Neither events are related!
Was also recognised in the street today by a stranger who'd seen me in the paper relating to the zoo. Strange feeling being known by complete strangers.
I was up a ladder putting a cinema poster up today. A lady said, 'Is King Kong Coming’, I said, ‘No it’s just the paste off the brush!'
Happy Darwin day people.

Day off.
Had a day off today so i was able to get a nice long lie in....... NOT!
Bloody Cats body clock gets me up at early o'clock as per usual! Oh well. Cats fed and telly on. Time to catch up on my weekly recorded television.
Work is never far away though so i did some correspondence and co-ordinating regarding our little surprise. You'll get an update on that soon.
Posted a pressie to a family member and got back to telly catch up. So nice to relax and get some housework done! Looks like we have some interest on the empty house next door. Hope they're nice people.
Been looking at my statistic for these blogs and my views are running into thousands, and from all over the world. Literally hundreds in USA, dozens in Aus and tens in other areas including places i've hardly heard of! So. A huge thank you to everyone who reads these and please share with everyone.
Today's musing......
I tried to share a sandwich with a homeless guy today. He told me to bugger off and get my own!

Interesting developments
Hello all.
Had some very interesting developments today. Was told something and followed it up and looks like it's true. What? You may ask. Not telling you!............ At least, not yet. It'll spoil the surprise :-)
I will, of course, be telling you all as soon as it comes to fruition. Keep tuned in to my blog for further updates.
In other news. Other things happened and stuff was done. Good work.
We also see a welcome return of the International Space Station to UK skies. Love seeing it travel across our sky at a leisurely 17.500mph! With a good set of binoculars or a lightweight moveable telescope you can make out the solar arrays. Love it.
One more thing..... I was scouring the town in search of a Brillo pad today..... Turns out i had one in my hand all the time!!

Superstar.
Today i did an interview and film all about Zazu the Rhea. He was fantastic. He didn't get twitchy or panicky and went everywhere i wanted him to go. He stood still when we needed it and walked when needed too. He is a very cool bird......... He's also a little shit when he wants to be!!! His over familiarization of people means he will sometimes peck you when he's being inquisitive, and that can hurt! But today, he was a superstar. As soon as it is published i will post the links. It's going national!
The keepers also gave our new Lion Jasiri a huge lump of meat that he wouldn't normally get. An audience gathered to watch him devour his prize. He was released from his pen and he went straight for the treat.......... sniffed it, licked it, turned his nose up and walked away! He's not a fan of eating in public. I bet there's nothing left of it by tomorrow morning. No spectacle for us this time. At least Josie appreciated hers.
Went house hunting last night...... Can't believe i forgot where i lived!

Birds!
Today was a day spent with the Birds.
Took Asbo the Crow out for the first time since she lost her jessies. Put a new set on and took her for a walk around the zoo. People love to see her and she even got attention from some wild males. Sat on the picnic area with her hopping about. Great to get back to her training. She is in peak condition. Good to see.
Took Zazu the Rhea out today also. Walked him around the zoo and in to the restaurant for a quick jolly. Big day tomorrow as he gets a load of attention from the press. I'll update you on how that goes tomorrow.
It's very satisfying working with animals. They can sometimes be a pain in the butt but on the whole, they are great fun and very rewarding.
The wild Robins are getting friendlier too. Coming for food from the hand. Gotta love birds eh.
Had a go at water polo yesterday...... Didn't do very well, my horse drowned!
