EARTH HOUR

To night is the start of Earth Hour and this is my lounge room at 8.30 PM,  a small gesture and a cute bunny. Furgus has invented a new game called catch a mouse and let it go inside, then sit back and watch as I run around trying get it outside! there have been three today so far.  I'm sure he likes to hear me squeal if the mouse jumps on me. I've started to knit again, for some reason over the last year I just haven't had the thinking energy to start or finish a project but the last two days have been great and I've been working on swatches for mittens.

LIONS AND TIGERS

On Sunday we went to Zoodoo with a couple of friends to see the white lions, they're only half grown and the male already weighs 160 kilos. Zoodoo actually let you into a caged section so you can take photos without the glass in the way. They came right up to us the male charged the cage playfully and just before he was looking right at me when I managed to take his photo it was just like a domestic cat  pouncing. They also did the same with the tigers and they even let you hand feed them a piece of meat with a pair of tongs. I'm not big a fan of animals in captivity but  Zoodoo is part of the breeding program to save the gene pool, also if they don't want to play or eat in front of an audience then they don't have too. None of the big cats seemed to mind people watching them and the white lions were showing off and playing with toys. The photo of the tiger below you can just see the caged section where you can go in and see them up close, that's right where I took his photo when he looked at me. Furgus is completely better and spent an evening guarding the remote control. His open mouth means will bite hand, arm, fingers so I just had to leave him to it.
