Last month, during our vacation after we got back from France, M. and I visited Sea Life in Scheveningen. Here’s a picture impression. For more pictures, please have a look at my Zoo Flickr Set.
After the visit to Sea Life, we bought herring on a bun. One of the seaguls promtly stole my herring just at the moment I was taking my second bite! And all I was left with was an empty bun, so watch your herring while you’re at the beach in Scheveningen!

Yesterday we went to Burgers’ Zoo in Arnhem. Check out the pictures at my Flickr Photostream!

I feel like I really need a break. I’m so tired. I have headaches all the time, they’re bordering on migraines and now my allergies start to act up as well due to the hot weather. I have yet to find anything that I’m allowed to take for this that actually works. Plus my arms got a terrible sunburn from working in the sun all day, I can hardly move them now. Ugh. How do you know you’re “listening to your body” instead of being a flunk? I really don’t know how I’m going to make it through the day.

In other news, our bunny Elmo got neutered yesterday. This was necessary for all of us. He’s been acting agressively towards me whenever I give him his daily supply of fresh food and water. Hopefully he will also stop spraying and leave Dixie alone when he’s out of his cage (he tried to mount her several times). So we will all be happier (including M. whose shirts got pissed on in the past, yuck!) and as a result Elmo will be allowed “out” more often. So now it’s my job to give him his prescribed painkillers this week. I succeeded this morning, but in return Elmo almost succeeded in amputating my arm.

The bunny was out of its cage all night. I feel sorry for the poor guy and let him run free whenever I can, knowing that it will be a struggle to get him back in his cage again. Knowing that M. will be frustrated with it. Knowing that the bunny will harrass the cat. Knowing that M. will eventually say something like “He has to go to the farm.” Wtf? Are you kidding me? He went into his cage just fine this morning. It’s not like we’ll give the baby away the moment he or she does something that doesn’t please us. I’m just sorry for the cat, but she knows she can get on the bed with us where the bunny doesn’t come for some peace and quiet.

All is quiet on the knitting front. I haven’t picked up the needles in days. I have two completed socks, though they do not form a pair and I’m half way done with yet another sock that doesn’t match. In the meantime I’m still awaiting my order of Noro Sock Yarn and yesterday I ordered the Knitter’s Almanac which has the cutest baby stuff in it. If all goes well I’ll be about to become a mom in half a year. It’s madness to think about it. Last night I only had to get out once to pee, which to me is a real breakthrough!

Lookie! It’s Dixie! I had made some pictures with my digicam to upload once I got to my parents house where my computer is still at. But I had to do some other things first over there and before I knew it the afternoon was coming to an end and I had to go home. I never got the chance to even switch the pc on, let alone upload anything. So for now this is the only glimpse of her that I have to share. It was taken by my boyfriend with his cellphone.

First time posting through Flickr! Fingers crossed!
