Monkey bars have a whole new meaning

Can't believe how animaly this blog is!!

This week has been good, though there have been a few surprises...trying to be less jumpy. Got out of the shower a few days ago to hear a massive crash, looked into my living room to find a giant monkey sitting on the fireplace. I shrieked!!!! Such a random sight. It jumped across the worktops and squeezed through the grates on my kitchen window-was worried it'd get stuck!! Did not want to have to push a fat monkey's bottom through the bars on my window! Ran outside after it to find my neighbours with catapults and doubled over with giggles at the ridiculousness of the situation. The monkey had done the rounds of the houses. What joy!!

Last night I saw a giant spider and a gecko as I got into bed....can't say I slept very easily! Generally my house is, well, was gonna say animal free, but that isn't true-the chickens kept wandering in today, and the warthogs have got as far as the veranda...

On Friday evening, I went on a little game drive in the National Park opposite the school. Saw a lion about 5m from the car, was amazing!


The game park is so cool. It is the only game park in a city, so you can sky scrapers in the background!


It's a lush way to spend a Friday afternoon unwinding!
