Morning shopping. Woke up at 6am today, couldn’t sleep anymore. Lying awake in bed thinking of Claire. I don’t like her being on her own back in England when she’s not happy. Wish she was here. Had a bit of a read and a play.

Bought a St Kilda scarf today. That’ll come in handy when we go to the football. Picked up a few postcards, birthday present and card.

The afternoon was spent in Melbourne Zoo. It’s a great zoo. A lot of people have issues with keeping animals in captivity. I don’t though. There’s benefits for both animals and humans. They’re educational and as long as the animals are well looked after, which in most cases they are, the animals know little different and are happy and content to do pretty much as they please.

We spent most of the afternoon there and didn’t see everything. I was wandering round wishing Claire was with me. Bought her a stuffed koala.

Oxtail stew for tea.

I’m now tired. My feet ache from walking all day. Had text sex with Claire, which was fun.
