Yay! Back home where I can upload pics n stuff!! Sorry for the non posting but I promise you I have been forcing myself happy every day.
I… Ok I was about to go into a huge ramble there.. but later.. First Pics!!
This is is a pic of the male panda called Yang Guang (Sunshine) and he is chomping away on some bamboo. The other Panda is called Tian Tian (Sweetie) but she was having a wee snooze in her bed so you couldn’t really see her properly. They both live in separate enclosures which are so Zen and beautiful I would like to live in them!
This one is a bit fuzzy but I thought Tian Tian looked like he was having a good old laugh!!
Just a short vid.. because we were being herded about like cattle …we like to break the rules a little though.. Though I would have to delete it because My partner thought I had them in shot but it was just the top of their heads! (Phew) Enjoy the panda Zen!!
I think the reason they seem so Spiritual is because they seem so chilled just eating and sleeping and I never heard them even make a noise. I think it would be relaxing to chill with them for a while ….with a big piece of glass between ..They are still bears!! Kung fu Panda has a lot to answer for with his gentle non human limb tearing apart nature!!
Here is Michael cuddling a safer Panda in the gift shop which I kid you now was about the size of half a football field.. (well big anyway!) …I wasn’t buying into the Panda-mania.. but I did go mental at the Edinburgh dungeons the next day! :/
Other animals including human ones!!
We all thought this monkey looked like a creepy wee old man wearing a wig!! It was also saying ‘geeze yer apple!!!’ As we were eating apples while watching them.. They had their own though!!
Rose and I pretending we are some sort of Apes next to a mural.. (you think we fit in?) ![]()

Beautiful Leopard relining. What an honour to be able to get so close to them.

I think this is my favourite pic. It’s of a Rhea and he was so friendly and cheeky and I thought this pic was hilarious and really captured the spirit of him!

“Hello”!!!
Much fun was had!!

They are sooo cute!
I know!! They are so chilled too.. I don’t believe the keeper and her talk about them ripping me limb from limb! They would SO cuddle me!!
xx
compared to other bears, they are rather small, but still a lot stronger than any human, so they could do the tearing limbs, even by accident (playing)
Aww.. if they did it by accident ..it wouldn’t seem as bad somehow.. still, as much as I would love to play with and cuddle the pandas I really enjoy my limbs too much to take that chance!!
Every time I read your post, these words ring in my head, “I am Happy, I am I am Happy”
YAY!!!!
“I am happy, I am I am Happy” will be my new mantra from now on!!

Hehe! I really liked the cheeky bird pic. I know.. It was terrible I couldn’t upload anything.. so frustrating!!
I felt bad I couldn’t post for a couple of days too. The Tour/dungeon day was so busy and when we got back we had food and pretty much fell asleep and then the next day we travelled home everything had caught up with me so I decided to Detox.. Oh wait!! I still have today’s happy thing to do!! LMAO.. I thought I was caught up.. No more manic holidays for me!!
Ok.. I need to go do something..
