Think I'll have some Tandoori chicken and feed the rest to the wolves later - they eat anything. I wonder if the dolphins will fancy the prawns and salmon? Hmm, might just try it. Certainly saves on my budget! Now I wonder if that delivery of bedding straw will turn up this afternoon?

Leaping from zoo direction, recovered from hangover. Cora! Those camels don't look too good to me. What have you given them? At least they can swim, could ask the Ents manager about giving the guests rides - makes a change from jet skis. And those poor monkeys, too much fruit, oops! Need cleaning out again, and a vet, I shouldn't wonder. Has anyone spotted a loose zebra or two? It's so sunny I can't spot them in the shadows cos of their stripes. At this rate there'll be no animals to see in the zoo as they've all escaped. P'raps we could re-name it a safari park. Puts on sunglasses and goes to peer through bushes. Strong smell wafting from monkey enclosure.

*Fat Lady Cook shuffles into the kitchen and makes for the staff bulletin board* Oh dear! That uppity little Sassy is at it again!, She did not do the breakfast menu. Lazy little so and so. Has she not heard of copy and paste! Oh Well it too late to do it now, breakfast is over. Anyway, I only come on duty for the lunch and dinner shift. *Fat Lady pours a cup of black coffee and shuffles out the door to find a quite spot in the garden to sit and meditate*

The Entertainments Manager wanders around the grounds. She thinks she can see someone dragging some bin liners through the trees. She walks to the animal compound and looks on astonished as she sees a camel runnning fast then jumping, only to land on its stomach with its legs splayed around it., looking puzzled. She thinks it best to go back to her room to prepare for the day. On her way through reception she can hear a strange howling noise coming from the restroom. She decides not to investigate and hopes that security will pick it up. Gwynne (ents)

Hang on, do I smell bacon and eggs? Hope so, the orang-utans love that for their breakfast. And what's this? Looks like not all the guests finished their fruit, I'll just grab a binbag and fill it up for the monkeys. Wonder how they'll like prunes? Totters on, dragging bag behind her. Disappears through French doors into gardens.

Sits up from behind a bar stool. Oo 'eck, it's morning and no camels caught. Cora the camel-coaxer I would love some help, thanks for the offer. I never know what to do with the pesky things! Now elephants and tigers are much more my scene. I think I'd better be off and muck out the menagerie. Ooh my head... Staggers to her feet holding her head and stomach, totters to the door.

The Entertaiment manager rises early. She was unable to get into the main building yesterday evening as it was so crowded. After breakfast she plans a tour of the grounds to ensure all is well with the guests. Gwynne (ents)
