Today after a busy morning in the garden, we spent the afternoon at the zoo. As they are celebrating 50 years this year, colchester zoo have had 112 giraffes, 30 2.4 metres and 82 1.3 metres, painted by various people and places. They have been located all over colchester and the surrounding areas. This week however they are all in one place, the zoo itself, ahead of the auction for them. We found the big ones straight away, but we couldn't find the littles ones. We looked all over the zoo and just couldn't find them, we even asked someone where they were, he told us and it wasn't until the very end of our trip that it clicked where they were. In the end we found them, all 112. We even entered a raffle to win a blank one to paint ourselves.
After that and a lovely dinner from the chippy, we settled our son down to bed and got on with preparing the apples that I had picked yesterday. It took ages, but eventually we had prepared enough and started to cook them. We then had a few other bits to do so we left them cooking, going back occasionally to stir them. Unfortunately we both got distracted and it wasn't until I heard them sizzling on the bottom of the pan and smelt the burning did we remember them. They were ruined and all that hard work wasted.
As my wife would say to me in a situation like this, it's just one of those things! She knows how much it annoys me so I just couldn't help but get her back.
It's been a busy few days and I'm feeling exhausted and we have another busy day tomorrow before I can relax.
Thanks for reading
