Zoe

Today Neil invented a new nickname for Zoe: "Her Royal Mogness".

(Non-Americans: Mog or moggy is British slang for cat.)

Irony!

Israeli left-wing politician Yossi Sarid was denied a visa to a conference on freedom of expression and tolerance in Bali. Why? Because he's Israeli.

Bank Holiday Sunday

We went to Whipsnade! And we saw lots of animals (but not the cheetahs, because they were hiding :( ) Good fun, but expensive!! Admission was £15 each, plus another £12 to bring the car inside the park. There were some 4 month old lion cubs playing (very cute) and a young elephant (about 2). Got a great view of the tigers; one of them came right up to the wire!

Got 2 new stuffed toys to add to the collection: a snow owl, and Oryx beisa, which is a type of African antelope with very long horns.

Came home via Krispy Kreme *coughs* Neil missed the turnoff for the A1000 so we took the A10 instead and passed the Enfield Krispy Kreme.
