Visit Marwell Wildlife

Something Dan & I have been planning to do for a while now was to visit Marwell Wildlife (used to be Marwell Zoo). We decided last minute to head over today, with Dan’s friend Tom, hoping it wouldn’t be too busy. We were in luck, and had a good afternoon wandering round and saw most of the animals. I was impressed with a few very strange animals I’d never seen or heard of before.

Collected Tinker

I don’t like to be without a cat for long, so I collected Tinker today. He’s a 3 year old grey boy and seems to have settled in very quickly. Apparently he has been aggressive in the past so we’re going to see how he settles in and assess his temperament again.

WomenInTechnology – Building a Confident Brand

I headed off to Microsoft in Reading again, this time for a Women in Technology event, Building a Confident Brand. I took Dan along with me, and it was certainly a new experience for him, being one of less that 5 men with around 150 women. The evening went well, interesting presentations and discussions and some useful networking afterwards.

Liquorice handed back

Unfortunately Liquorice didn’t settle very well. While he seemed to be fine initially he started using the sofa instead of his litter tray. As our sofa is still very new we decided he’d be better elsewhere where he could be isolated in a smaller area and hopefully settled into a home environment more gently.

Collect Liquorice

Dan & I are now fairly well settled so I’m allowed to start cat fostering again :o )

We want to make sure we don’t take on too much to begin with, so we’re starting with Liquorice, an older boy with only 1 eye who’s currently in a single room. It’ll be good for him to have more space, and hopefully a gentle start for us into looking after a cat again.

Theatre & Party

I’d arranged ages ago to see Le Grand Cirque – Fantazie, and as expected it was a great show, with amazing feats of agility and strength. I particularly enjoyed the displays in the dark, with fluorescent patches on the clothes the only things visible which created some very cool effects.

As it was so close to my Birthday and not long after we’d moved we set up a house party for after the theatre too. Unfortunately we didn’t have many people able to make it in the evening but we had a good afternoon, with a big dinner and huge cake cooked by Dan.

In the evening we played on the Wii, with the new games and the Wii Fit I had for my Birthday (slightly early). It was a fun evening, although we did have rather more food & drink than we needed in the end!
