curiouswombatToday Daughter-dear and her Grandmother have started their journey to Australia. S2C and I took them to the airport very early – we left home at 6.15am. They are staying outside London for 24hours before setting off to Perth via Dubai. I will only feel happy when I know that they have arrived in Perth – but luckily I haven’t passed on my flying phobia to my daughter as far as I know.
It was lovely having the mother-in-law here for a week. The weather was fine all the time she was here, which was good. She and I pottered around most days, visiting a few places, shopping and having lunch with my Mum one day.
S2C, D-d, M-i-L and I went to the Wildlife Park for the evening on the Wednesday of her visit; they do a barbeque, and let you wander around the park in the evening. It was pretty quiet, and when we got to the walk-through lemur area the lemurs mobbed us as if they hadn’t seen a visitor in days, and wondered where we’d all been. There are some pictures under the cut:
We realized that the lemurs must have a thing for leather – they spent ages licking MiL’s handbag, and as you can see one was determined to have a go at d-d’s leather belt. Not a very good picture of my beloved husband – but it was such a nice one of the lemur….
PS - I posted Chapter fourteen of Ten Years After yesterday, which was a bit over due, and not my usual day, so this is a reminder in case you are reading it and missed the latest chapter.

Date: 27/07/2005 01:26 pm (UTC)Touching wild things just does something to my soul. At the Seaworld parks in the USA they have different "petting pools with Dolphins and pilot whales. They have other sea critters that differ from park to park as well. My favorite was the Manta Ray pool. For a dollar you could buy a tray of fish to feed them but they seemed to enjoy being petted as much as eating. They felt like crushed velvet. Wonderful!!!
Wolves have a nobility of bearing too and I have had the pleasure of touching a couple of them too.
Lucky you , thanks for sharing.
