guh. I just got all melty. I would like to give her a very small hat and scarf. I would also like to have tea with her, and maybe lay down in a meadow and take a nap with my head on her belly, jes’ talkin’ about life. ---

Actually, I think it’s because the baby giraffe’s screen name is Hot Buttered Toast. ---

Oh she is lovely. 🙂 Ooh, look, I’ve got all these legs to deal with and I am only just managing so far to work things out with the neck and how to hold the head up. I saw a baby giraffe being born once at Marwell Zoo in Hampshire, and I was quite ridiculously pleased to learn later that little giraffe had been given the same name as my (real word) name. Not fair, actually: I think it deserved a better name. 🙂 ---

Stupid web designers put a 3168 pixel high piccie in a normal web page. It’s taking forever to load in. Cute as a mother fuck, though.
