Zoo trip: The Good
-> There are now pictures of me feeding giraffes! I was basically speechless and awed the entire time we were seeing them up close and they really are amazing and pretty. There were baaaaaabies!! We basically had three behind the scenes tours and it was a small group so we got really close to all the animals. My new favourites are the wild dogs (so much bigger and cuter in real life than you are expecting!) and the bongo. The bongo is SUPER cute and SUPER pretty up close and also has a name that rhymes with where it's from so all around it is awesome.
Zoo trip: The Bad
-> On the same day, on two different occasions, I dropped A. my wallet and B. my mobile phone in toilets. DON'T ASK ME HOW. The wallet survived and initially I thought the phone had too after some drying out because it switched on and pretended it was FINE - however the phone was only alive until I got it home. I tried to plug it into the charger, it said it wasn't charging and then pretty much died.
The reason this is bad is because my phone is ANCIENT and I like it because of that. It doesn't have so much as a camera on it, was one of the first color screen phones and just kept surviving despite what life threw at it. (I thought I was going to have to replace it when after YEARS the battery started to die, but I found a battery that matched my YE OLDE PHONE in a forgotten cupboard at work - FATE!!) I'm hoping I can get something similar (I only want my phone to be a phone, why is that so hard??)
ETA: Success! Voice guy had drawer full of old handsets. I have now managed to go backwards in technology as the phone he gave me is older than my old one... hee!
