turpsIt was an interesting day yesterday.
I'd gone to a safari park in the lake district with James, Kayleigh and Shauna. Had a nice day, walked lots, enjoyed seeing the animals. Fed a giraffe, which was awesome, was lining up to feed the lemurs, and went all funny. I can't actually remember anything after that for a few minutes as apparently, I went into a gradual faint. Staggering away saying I needed to lean against the wall, got led toward a seat by Kayleigh, ploughing through three pushchairs on the way, Kayleigh yelled at a man to stand up from the seat, and I just passed out. I can't remember anything until I came to and saw I was surrounded by park staff and an ambulance was on its way.
They were great, did lots of tests but were happy to let me go home as long as I went to see my own doctor today, which I did. He's pretty sure it was a faint too, and told me they won't investigate unless it happens again. But, if I feel one coming on I need to lie down flat. So I've been amusing myself thinking about just lying down in the middle of shopping or something. Better that than remembering how scary yesterday was. Even more so for Kayleigh, James and Shauna as I can't remember most of it.
Then we got stuck in a traffic jam on a little country road for two hours, about ten cars back from a nasty accident. I swear, we should have just stayed home. But saying that, I can't regret the giraffe feeding. They have given us four free passes to go back, but I suspect it'll be a while if we ever do return.
We did get some nice photos before everything went wrong. Two I like a lot are behind
