An Early Morning Rise....

I'm sitting here feeling mentally tired, although I have been awake since the back of 4am. The joys of doing my usual middle of the night wander to the kitchen to get a drink, how was I to know that I would be too keyed up that my mind wouldn't let me get back to sleep. After spending the past couple of hours tossing and turning in my bed, trying to shut my mind down with music, I decided I might as well just get up. Fair enough its 7ish, which is really early when you dont exactly have anything planned ALL day, considering I usually sleep til at least 11ish. I just wonder what to get up to for the rest of the day. Last night I planned that I should sit back and chill today, after spending all day of yesterday walking.....yes, I went to Edinburgh Zoo and it was great.

Going to the zoo yesterday was definitely the best kind of pick-me-up after being all meh and sick in the middle of the week, although I hope for all the pain I caused my feet with that walking yesterday, that I have at least dropped a pound in weight ha ha.

I can't remember the last time I have been to the zoo, but it was good to go and see all the animals....they were all so wonderful. Although the zoo is on a steep hill that burned your legs when you walked up and around. Thing is that me and my friends knew that it was all uphill, and we still walked the 2miles from Haymarket train station to the zoo, which was relatively easy task since it was a straight walk. But I didn't expect the walk to last for about 30minutes before we even got there!
I was happy all day, even when my feet moaned at me..but mainly because I was taking photos of all the pretty animals. I got really good photos of the tiger, I was really pleased as I love tigers!

I must admit, I took over 300 photos...yes I know that sounds bad, not all of them are good quality so I just assured myself with taking plenty of photos of each animal I saw. You have to admit, this is a really pretty photo. I have great photos of him faraway as well...although this one wins!
Another animal that I managed to get great photos of were the penguins, who my friend claire, fell in love with. I thought we were never going to get her away from them. Although there was windows were you could see them swimming under water, and she made friends with one as he kept coming back to her....and he caught her heart!

Thats not him though, but I thought I would show you the photo I got of a penguin. They were really cool, also they did a parade which I caught photos of...I've never seen anything like it! I got a few second clip of them parading he he. All my animal videos will be going on youtubes of course!

After we were finished with the zoo, we got a bus back to Princes Street which is in the heart of Edinburgh, that is where you get to see the Edinburgh castle which is pretty awesome to look at...Edinburgh is a pretty city as it has so many things that you can look at!


We done a small shopping trip after we had some food, although by 6pm my feet were officially burning, I could have sworn I had no soles left ha ha. So I was really happy to get sitting down on the comfy train to Glasgow! I visited my friend Bob and Kayleigh afterwards, and we watched a film which was pretty sweet!

After a long but awesome day, I was soooo glad to get home! I was that tired that I could probably passed out at my desk last night. I dont understand how I cant get back to sleep, since I felt so knackered....but hey I dont know how the body works ha ha.

On the last note, my mum would have been 48years old yesterday if she was still alive, as it was her birthday. Such an awesome person she was....I love her with all my heart and soul!
