I just went through all my archives, adding descriptions to the archive page. It struck me that my blog entries used to be far more exciting than they are now, which is kind of sad. I wouldn't be surprised if no-one reads this anymore, it's that boring. I even had weeks where there were no archived entries, because it had been so long between blogs, and when I have blogged it's been boring! What must you think of me?

This week has been a strange, strange week. It was a bank holiday on Monday, so there was no work. Ali, Rob, his sister Emma and her boyfriend Jonathan, and myself, all went to Twycross Zoo. There are a lot of monkeys (and apes, which are like monkeys but have no tails... I didn't know that until visiting the zoo). Apparently that's what the zoo's famous for.

Unfortunately, it was rainy, so most of the animals were hiding inside. It looks like it's more fun when they can be outside, swinging around on things. People always say it must be weird for them, but it's what they're used to. Most of them never knew what it was like to be free, in their natural habitat, so it's not overly cruel to keep them in cages.

That's the conclusion I came to, anyway.

I mean, all the elephants seem to come from Burmese logging camps. I liked the elephants. They're so... different. Their trunks are cool. And whenever I think of elephants I think of that "Just So" story about how the elephant got his trunk. That was a good story.

Ah, now I'm rambling! At least it means I'm writing something. I suppose. ;)

Anyway, this week, apart from the bank holiday, seems to have been very short and full of odd things.

Wednesday we had the first of our "marriage preparation" course things, which was scary, but not as scary as it might have been.

Thursday I left work early and went into town and had lunch with Rob. And we arranged some flat viewings.

And yesterday I skived off work early again and bought some CD's. :)

Oh, and Ali has been obsessed with "Dead or Alive 3".

Honestly, she has. She might try and deny it, but we know better. Hehe.

I have been mostly.... READING: edge magazine; quicker than the eye (ray bradbury) / WATCHING (tv): friends (c4) / PLAYING: dead or alive 3; splinter cell / LISTENING: liquid skin (gomez)
