Cool day Wednesday.

Mutterings continued.

Nice breeze wafting through the curtains.

We took a walk through the Zoo at lunch time to have a look at the various holes in the ground which promise to resolve into exciting new enclosures. The elephant pool is HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE and will allow them to submerge themselves entirely.

I parked Manfred at the front of the office today and offered to take people on paid guided tours of him, however nobody took me up on it. Several did peer through the windows and made "Oooh, nice!" noises. I was asked what the size of the engine was; my response was a girly, "Huh?"

From The Telegraph:

"The next installment of Harry Potter mania will strike on July 16 - the date announced yesterday for the release of J K Rowling's sixth fantasy novel. Children may (or may not) be pleased to learn that Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will be "a bit shorter" than the last book, which weighed in at 768 pages."

Also from The Tele: "Spoof letter-writer Robin Cooper managed to take in everyone from the Archbishop of Canterbury to the National Federation of Fish Fryers." I especially like the letter he wrote to "the National Association of Aerial Photographic Libraries, asking if it would like to see his collection of photographs of television aerials".

I heard on Sky UK News that a chap in England has spent the last 25 years aiming to be the best player of Galaxia, a game I understand nobody else plays anymore.
