Holiday,Hamster, Heroes and the Zoo

I know its been awhile but I've been a rather busy girl and abit addicted to facebook at the moment...

Holiday
I went on holiday to Bognor Regis on the Army holiday at Butlins. It was a nice little break and a good laugh. I got abit lonely this year during the day so I don't know if I will go back next year. It was good to be around people that love Jesus but there werent many my age so I got a bit bored. It was good to have a few lay-ins though and just generally chillout from work.

Hamster!
When my brother moved out in March he left me the delightful task of looking after his hamster, Chester. He couldn't take Chester with him because his landlord doesn't allow pets (although I think he lying because he secretly doesnt want Chester smelling out his posh new flat). So yeh I got home from my holiday to an empty house and went into the study to check on him and make sure he had enough food etc. I looked into the cage and there was no sign of him. He was gone and I freaked out not because I was worried about him but because I am petrified of hamsters!!! Yeh I know what can they do? I just don't like them. They are like little rats in my opinion. So I went out into the hall way and there he was.... sitting there like butter wouldn't melt and just stared at me....it was like he was laughing at me. So like the rashional person I am I screamed my head off!! It ran into my room. So I shut the door. Then I did what ever girl does when she has a problem. I got my phone out and rang Chris. This was our conversation:

Chris: Hey bubi
Kat: Ummm....hey...umm..help me!!
Chris: What have you done now?
Kat: Chester has escaped and Im scared.
Chris: OK try and get someone to help you and I will see you in an hour (Chris lives 80 miles away)

So I got my aunty round and we tried to catch him but we couldn't find him. We tried to trap him but that failed. Chris got there after an hour and with a simple leaving the food in an open cage and waiting trick we got him. So that was a very scary night indeed.

Heroes
At the weekend I went to see Mike and AJ and we went over to AJ's parents house for lunch. They have sky-plus and they had recored loads of 'Heroes' episodes for them. I had never seen any of them. I thought I'd see what all the fuss was about and watched episodes 3-7. I am now completly hooked! Its an awesome show! I spent the day with Nate yesterday and he has them all on his XBOX so I watched up till episode 10. I can't wait to see what happens!! Its amazingly addictive!

The Zoo
I went to Colchester Zoo with Nate yesterday and it was so awesome! We saw so many cool creatures and Nate had some Colchester lessons from me. A few highlights of our day - we got to see a white tiger called Sasha and he is very rare, we saw sealions, cheetahs and baboons being fed, we got to play in the play area and we got very close to a giraffe called Edmund. Some scary points in our day was being chased by a turkey, nearly being attacked by a goose and seeing alot of animals go to the toilet. The photos are all on facebook if u wanna check em out.
