Saturday Six Twenty-five Sixteen

I am certainly sunburned; a fair price to pay for sneaking in to the San Diego Zoo today. Sores beneath socks on which I walk and a sallow expression for having to share the experience with a sad solitary ‘me’. I had a good time. Comfortable in my skin (though slowly crisping in the sun) I grinned as I walked first to the snake house then on to… other animals which surely had ‘s’s in their names though I cannot recall them now, in the comfort of my home. So warm and yet cold; I am most certainly sunburned. Six hours of work, most spent walking the zoo paths having slipped through the open gate to the zoo in secret. “Yes, just to the bathroom!” then off to the snakes.
