The Zoo wish you all a Happy New Years Eve! Pictures from the past week or two. Poppy and Boo really getting into the Christmas spirit!
Question, how many Christmas films has everyone watched this year??
I have watched
Robin Robin (highly recommend)
Nightmare Before Christmas (Helen's favourite)
Arthur Christmas (always a joy)
Muppets Christmas Carol (THE classic)
Some very odd films i honestly don't remember the names.
Helen and I have watched a few more but I have a melty brain like the frost outside.

Any recommendations?

Got back and fed the meowing tribe, I call it feeding the chickens, when I sprinkle treats. πŸ˜†πŸ”
They weren't pleased with me, I left them and they act starved when I return. πŸ˜†πŸ˜† Typical?!
Many people didn't show yesterday, reminder if you cant make it to a rehearsal please let us know, as we are getting closer and closer to the production now.

I, Robyn Pevensie, have a wee story for you all of my current situation, so day of Halloween πŸŽƒ
I was moving rubbish from my garden as obviously, not a good look when you have trick or treaters coming.

I accidentally found two common newts 🦎. I panicked thinking oh no i've disturbed their hibernation what am i gonna do!?
I will add, these two thought a peice of soggy lino was a good place to hibernate.🀦
Now, newts need to be well sheltered during winter as frost for them, is a killer, so they would have died if I hadn't accidentally found them.πŸ’€
I rung my vet asking what to do and three different vets later I got answers, so in the end the best option was to keep them inside and feed them till spring time, when they can be released. 🐾🦎🌱
It's a nice adventure having two newts, naming them, working out their genders, cute little things. πŸ˜„ πŸ¦ŽπŸ‘

However today I was removing dead and rotten plant from my garden and found two more!🦎🦎
These two are even more stupid, basically sat in a tree and said yup this will be fine, on top of a mouldy stump, with crispy leaves and rotting roots, in the cold❄️ completely in view and not a care in the world. One was even on its back exposing its colourful orange belly.🀦 Very well camouflage?!?πŸ™„πŸ˜‚πŸ€¦πŸ¦Ž

So now I have four of them to look after!!!!! 🦎🦎🦎🦎

Apparently and I quote from Google
"Newts are sentient creatures capable of various forms of cognition and learning, which are well-suited to their survival needs"

NOT THESE ONES! ABSOLUTE IDIOTS! MORONS! All four basically just like "yup trashπŸ—‘ will be perfectπŸ‘ for the next few months". I haven't met a more idiotic animal in my life.πŸ€¦πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«
Fish are smarter I swear.🐟

It's a shame they can't star in our pantomime, would fit well since we have a newt prop, upgrade to the real deal πŸ¦ŽπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Poppy is here with her favourite ball, to tell everyone that we are holding a FULL rehearsal of Another Cat, Another Hat tomorrow night at 7pm, Helperby Village Hall. As always, all are welcome to add to the fun and perhaps play a role in our Christmas production.
A trip to the Oak Tree pub afterwards for a chatter and a natter of course. Feel free to join us, give us your thoughts. See you there, perhaps?
Must admit Poppy will not be attending as she will be recovering from her long day of sleep, her dinner and judging my every move. As well as her other feline friends, of which are clearly immature and she could never stoop so low. πŸ˜†πŸ˜Έ
