We met Lou, Ollie, Oscar and Josie at the zoo. We took a picnic and had a really nice day in spite of he forecast saying it was going to rain……it didn’t! Arina, the tiger was just chillin. The Southern Cheetah had some human company with it, I am guessing one of Damien’s daughters. We spent a long while watching the gorillas as they had loads of new straw everywhere and so they were doing a lot of play fighting and throwing the straw over each other.
We had a picnic lunch while we were there. It still hadn’t rained when we arrived home!
In the evening Mal and I went to Margate’s Theatre Royal to see Steeleye Span. It started me thinking it was actually 48 years since the first time I went to see them and I have seen them many times since. The last time we went they performed some Wintersmith themed music. Tonight it was from “Dodgy Bastards” and was so much better. The band now has some brilliant musicians and singers. As Maddy (lead singer) explained, some of the band has been replaced some 40 years later by ex band members children! Of course they finished the evening with the “Hat” song!! I can’t wait for their 50th anniversary tour next year. I think the band has much improved since last time we saw them.
Thought for the Day – “Memories are always special. Sometimes we laugh by remembering the days we cried and we cry by remembering the days we laughed. That’s life.”
