Tigers!

The two tiger cubs, Sinda and Bira, are already looking really grown up. They pester their parents relentlessly, but remain really baby-like with the keeper. They constantly moaned to him about wanting a feed. They made a sound a bit like a very loud lamb's bleat. As soon as the keeper tried to give them a bit of food ahead of time, the parents attempted to muscle in. He really has the best job in the world. There is now a safari section of the zoo, with animals loose within the safari zone. It is a VERY hilly site, and the lorries pull wagon-loads of over 20 people up and down along the edge of what seemed to me like a precipice!



At feeding time, the keeper called the tigers into their small enclosure so that he could distribute their food around the main enclosure. The youngsters were asleep on a hillock, and didn't respond for a while. The parents were getting impatient.

Then, when everyone was where they should be, and the food was set, the keeper had a close up talk to give to a party. By now, the tigers were literally climbing the wire, so impatient were they for their food.

This is what happened when he finally opened the gate:



Dad won, and took his prize inside a little hut. Mum got some, too, but eventually abandoned it to her nuisance offspring.

Seems like Yesterday

I can't let Val see I'm staring at her.
Got to love those smiling eyes.


Bam!


The luckiest pen in the world. Or is it a pencil?


I love the half-smile.


I love the full smile.


I love the stride...etc...


He even knows how to sit down sexily.


Thoughtful.


Earnest.


Those eyes again :)


Annoyed? Frustrated?


It may be a false smile, but even so.


And this may be false sympathy and understanding but...


He is extra fine in a fine episode.

Fit

OK, I know the title of this episode, Seizure, doesn't mean the kind of fit that Bobby is - but, boy, is he FIT in this episode.

Have I ever said that about other episodes?

Let me put my arms around you and rest my face against your back.


If you ever pointed at me and smiled like that...


And I love it when you scratch you head like that.


Not to mention when you draw attention to your lovely mouth with that succulent finger.


Don't tell me to leave!


Ah, that's a much better use of that thumb.


What do you think I'd have to do to get his attention like this?


Yum.


He's smiling at someone else now. My turn!


This is perfection.


Or maybe this?


This could be...


Ooh, I like you stern!


No, this is the perfect shot.


Forget it, this one in the dark is unsurpassable.


Why do you suppose she's looking at him like that?


See, she can't take her eyes off him.


Then, not happy with being so close and ogling him like that,she engineers getting dragged away by him. Lucky cow.

Zoo Update

I had a newsletter from the John Aspinall Foundation, the organisation that runs two zoos in Kent - Howletts and Port Lympne. (Don't get your lips in a tangle, it's pronounced "Lim".) John Aspinall ran casinos, and was a friend of the nanny-murdering disappearing peer Lord Lucan. He used the money those with more of the stuff than sense lost to him, and invested it in saving species. Aspinall died a few years ago of skin cancer. I donate a sum monthly to help the cause.

Anyway, the newsletter said that in April two Siberian Tiger cubs were born at Port Lympne.

Guess where I'm going on Monday!


Meanwhile, I forgot to include one little creature in my slideshow the other day. Please be upstanding for this sweet animal the size of a cat - the fennec fox.



I didn't manage to get a picture of the Mouse Deer, but what a fragile-legged little thing that was. I strongly encourage googling it so you can go "Aaaah!"

Bobby The Hero

Wide-eyed and wonderful.


This love letter from Val is hot!


I have to go and do wonderful things to her.


You need hands.


Gotta have tongue.


Yadda, yadda, yadda.


Love that smile.


The kind caring eyes.


You can see him thinking.


Pinning down the Phantom.


Brave Bobby.


More wall-slamming. Yes, please!


A back to bury your face in.


Why didn't he get a commendation for his actions in this?

Playing With Judges

Bobby looks particularly scrumptious in this episode (OK I say that for almost every episode) and I think it's because he's legitimately challenging people in authority.

Vomit.


Don't suck your thumb, let me do it for you.


So handsome (and look at the little hair flicks!)


I've finished with your thumb, let's have a go at your finger.


Peek-a-boo!


Ooh, yes, take me by the scruff and slam me down on a car.Then do as you will with me.


I want to tweak that knee.


Enjoying robust sex. IN A BOOK! And here are we all waiting in line so he can enjoy it for real!


Getting his own back on Bruce McVittie. "He peed himself."


I'm looking pleased with myself.It's what Val's doing out of the frame...


Front and back and the thumb again :)


Shoulders and a curly nape.


No words.


One of the great Goren stances.
