Today I was outwitted by monkeys (as was Kate)






Today NCBS contained: 2 Monkeys

I was sitting drinking the worlds sweetest cup of coffee (I'm pretty sure it was about ninety percent sugar) enjoying a break in the sun, bliss. This was obviously far too calm for me so two monkeys appeared in the ground, climbed the building and entered in an upper floor window. Kate and I grabbed our cameras and ran up the stairs to take photos. While we were climbing the stairs they jumped back out the window, to where we had been sitting, and started rummaging through bags, stealing my tasty dextrose tablets and Kate's Nalgene water bottle. We ran down as they ascended the building and watched as one of them opened the bottle but managed to poor the water on his own face (Nick took a photo of it playing with its testicles so it was definitely a boy). We were obviously not only conned by a monkey but conned by a stupid monkey. After drenching itself it dropped the bottle off the top of the building which Kate collected unscathed, lending credence to Nalgene's "unbreakable" reputation. There were only bite marks on the lid... (we've helpfully suggested she washes it. The monkeys then went back indoors to continue their reign of chaos and steal a woman's icecream. As we got closer to take photos it decided it was his icecream and chased us with fangs bared, so we scattered giggling (by this time it was me, Nick, Kate and two other guys who we didn't know (one Indian and one possibly dutch?). Escaped unscathed but a little over sunned due to the time chasing them about.

Going to a "banquet" this evening, I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's probably going to contain curry (curried rice for breakfast this morning, tasty but still a little odd to be eating at 8am).

  1. Curry at any time is perfectly acceptable. Don't be such a girl!
