Haven't updated in a few days - don't seem to have spent that much time at the computer or even in my own house for a few days - so apologies for spamming up everyone's f-lists this afternoon.

Took a day off work last Friday due to a) time owing and b) extreme frustration that I shan't bore everyone by explaining. Suffice it to say that work is annoying me muchly at the moment. Anyway, I took the day off on a whim and went to St Fagans, which is one of my favourite places to just hang out. It's free entry, so mostly I just have to pay my bus fare. In this instance, I paid half of the car parking fee, as I went with my friend Molly. Didn't get around quite as much as I usually do, because Moll is 67 now so we settled for a pretty leisurely ramble and spent a lot of time sitting around enjoying our picnics or a cuppa in the shiny new cafe. It was a really lovely day, weather-wise, so we had a really good day out.

After St Fagans on Friday, I had Small to sleep over for the night. Then on Saturday we all went to Bristol Zoo for the day, to meet Deb and Ray. En route, my Dad re-enacted an ancient family custom - when we were little, we used to go to Bristol Zoo every summer, and every single time he'd get lost. This weekend was no different - the zoo really isn't that hard to find, and yet Dad managed to get spectacularly lost. Still, we got there in the end. Six adults and one child, but it was as good a place to meet as any - Deb needed to see us, and we wanted to see her. And we all enjoyed seeing the animals, no matter what our age!

Then today, being spring bank holiday and rather nice and sunny, albeit cold - I gather it is raining across the rest of the country, but we've barely had any rain here - I took myself off for a walk around Roath Park Lake.
