Thank you Ang Nancy and Tufan
Was a great day with lots of laughs, yes the giraffes were a highlight. Next time Julie, apparently we have to go back for another look at the roses.
After my crap day at work I wish I had have taken a sickie and joined you guys, I could have done with a good laugh today...well done girls...
This was a hoot. Thanks to Ange and Nancy for organising. The zoo gained two new annual memberships, and I half suspect another two shortly. It was great fun. We were spoilt by the giraffes, a couple of adolescent males belting each other just a few metres away from the "bus", the rhinos and later the hippos. All good fun and quite a few laughs. Lunch was good and the rose garden despite apparently being better next week, was also impressive. It was truly a day to stop and smell the roses, which we do so infrequently!
Wanting to connect with some real rhinoceroses, not those ones on wheels
Excited about a day off mid week!
Sorry - have had to withdraw from this one. Enjoy the day!
I'll need to be away about 2.30 as I have a meeting later that afternoon which i can't get out of..
But will enjoy most of the day with the team
Got to take advantage of my flexibility whilst I am still a uni student! Although I might need to skip out a little early as I do have a lecture to get to by 3pm (it's my final lecture of the semester so iI really do have to be there!)
