Another Monday ..........

Unlike my sister who views Mondays as "ACE" and a chance to get going with things - I HATE THEM!!!!!
Firstly I had a lovely weekend - so Monday coming round is harsh. Back to work and all - but Monday is done now so I am happy Bex!
My Dad, his wife and her son came up yesterday and the wisdom that is Bex thought I would plan a "day out". Now when i say plan I actually mean a last minute idea with no research behind it at all.................... VERY against the grain for my Dad who plans stuff with military precision
So they all arrive and off we go headed for Woburn Safari Park. (Bex has clocked the craft fair is on there so has to be good right????)
So we do the "Dad" thing of having to go and buy a picnic lunch .......... so I trek miles out of the way to Sainsburies and we buy it .............. and off we go with Bex navigating. As we get back to my house from getting food and start the journey I remember there is a supermarket on the way - oopsy.
So back to Bex navigating ............. I have a vague idea of where it is cos I got lost round there recently ......... this info does not go down well with Dad when we are half way there and I am getting more vague.
THANKYOU for the sudden appearance of the Brown Elephant signs!!!!!!
Get there no problem ......... and it is PACKED. SO OK I DID NOT THINK ABOUT REDUCED ADMISSION FEES COS OF CRAFT FAIR!
So the apparently "45 minutes safari drive" takes 2 and a half hours - and what is Bex to do????
Well of course I MOANED. And my step brother Karl quite happily played the back seat kids moaning game with me. It was actually a real laugh to be in our 30's and TOTALLY winding up the parents!

Had a few funny moments - like me being so starving I manage to squeeze into the boot to salvage picnic - not allowed to get out of car due to lions and tigers and bears ............ (OH MY!) Yes we did play that game too ..............
Had a VERY scary moment when we were totally gridlocked with traffic and a HUGE male Lion was at my window STARING at me and my ham sarnie. Nearly poo'd my pants. No Pic cos I was FAR too scared to move ............. what a total wuss - It was only a Lion .................. with a wee bit of glass in a VW between him and me ............

The "Bears" however chose not to read the signs that are everywhere telling people that they like to nick wingmirrors ........... I SO wanted them to nick Dads but nah they were too busy climbing trees and sleeping ............
The monkeys were also on best behaviour - bet they wouldn't have been if we had taken my car ...............

Then this evening I have been out for dinner with my mate Sues 2 boys and her Mum. We had an ace time - ate FAR too much Pizza, ice cream etc. I reckon her youngest even has the potential to puke tonight perhaps. (No problemo - he is safely deposited home with his Grandma Greta!!! And my phone is now off ...................) x Sorry Greta but as discussed I don't do the aftermath - just the planning!! xx
Mind you this is a VERY feeble effort as i was planning to totally corrupt them whilst Sue was away - oh well I have 5 days still ...............

So rambling Bex with tummy FULL of pizza and cheesecake is off to bed xxxx

OH AND EM - I am cracking up at your comments on my photography - the recipe is simple.
NEVER clean camera lense, only decide to use camera after 10pm when it is dark, turn off flash.
Hey presto naff pics!!!!!

Glad to be of help

Love Bex xxxxxxxxxxxxx
