i encourage you all to join me for some casual drinking, social lubrication and light laughter right here in the beer garden.
Oh and before anyone gets up in arms about alcohol and its dangers the main beer on tap is VB or virtual beer
beer is the third most commonly consumed drink in the world behind water and tea
why not share the worlds joy with friends

Hi @Former-Member
I'm glad your day was good - so was mine
Working at the zoo - now I bet that's not quite exactly as good as it sounds since my cousin who works at a cattery does not spend all day cuddling the clients
There are similar chores at the zoo I guess - no - I know - all animal have the similar habits and I am glad I don't have to go in after the tigers - I love cats - and tigers are wonderful - but - yeah yeah yeah - my cousin told me about her days at the cattery
But I thought for a moment about a day at the zoo - I think in spite of the cool change overnight it is getting warm again and I was outside watering my vegies and yeah - I could feel the heat of the day arriving gradually - but I could walk to the beach
What a wonderful idea - but can I get the bus back? Not sure - but why not walk anyway

Hi @Decadian 
Great to hear from you.
I am glad you had a good day yesterday.
Working at the zoo is quite interesting. There are various roles at the zoo but main role is interacting with the visitors and also making sure the wildlife/animals are okay too. Others work at looking after the animals (feeding & cleaning), horticultural and animal hospital.
Today I was mainly in the roo paddock and also in the land of the pariott. It was much quiter then expectated, I think. I had dinner with my parents tonight and that was lovely.
Hope you had a good day....

Thought I'd pop in for a beer this afternoon, and I wanted to say thanks to everyone who tagged me while I was in hospital (I got out yesterday) @Kurra , @Former-Member, @Faith-and-Hope, @Shaz51 and anyone else who I missed. Feeling a lot better; not fully better, but much less 'bridge-jumpy' than I was before.
How is everyone else and what did I miss?
