A Day at the Zoo

On the weekend Vladdy & I decided to do something with our precious time off and go to the Zoo...so Saturday morning we got ourselves ready, packed a picnic lunch, grabbed our cameras and drove to the station.

It was a nice morning, it was a bit crisp but at least the sun was out and it took the chill out of the breeze. Our 40 minute train ride in to the Zoo was spent discussing camping lists and what we need to get to ensure we wont starve/freeze to death when we get a chance to go camping for the first time. I'm not sure if Vladdy share's my enthusiasm, but I like the idea of having some camping stuff ready to go in the garage - so if we stumble across a nice weekend we can go for a drive and set up the tent somewhere.

The day was spent wandering around the zoo...me looking at the animals, Vladdy taking 500 photos of the animals, me complaining about my aching arm (mysterious new medical symptom), Vladdy taking even more photos of the animals.

Then the rain began to overtake the sunshine so we headed back to the train station.

Once we got back to Werribee it was to discover that a) Vladdy had not locked the car and b) Vladdy had left the car keys in the ignition.
But the car was still sitting in the carpark. In the Werribee Train Station Carpark...the carpark that has a special spot for police cars. In the suburb with one of the highest crime rates in Victoria.

I didnt know whether to laugh or cry.
In the end hysterical laughter won out...and Vladdy is now being convinced to buy lotto/scratchie tickets because he's the luckiest bastard alive....
