Spot the Nut

Or, High drama at the sea sanctuary.
This is a photo of some penguins and Mr nut I took a while before the high drama which really put a dampers on the day (thankfully we had mostly done looking at and ooohing at the seals penguins and otters).

What happened is Jim and Mr nut got hot tea spilt on them. We were sitting next to a trough of water so we dunked them in that but the nut was most unhappy so and some people next to us called the first aid (which was nice of them) and the guy said to come and take him to the cold tap in the kitchen, so I followed him only to find he had been diverted to a far greater emergency almost immediately as someone had collapsed in the cafe and he ran off to perform CPR

It was all quite serious and the air ambulance was called and we were all effectively trapped in the seal sanctuary while lots of trucks and helicopters were dashing about the place trying to sort the poor guy out while Mr Nut couldn't take his nap because of the noise and his poor hurty hand and was in floods of tears (which is very unusual). That's not to say he didn't periodically stop to point at a seal to say 'WOW! Doggie! Quackquack!'*

Eventually we were allowed out, and Mr Nut quickly fell asleep with an application of some sudocreme to his hand (this is great stuff if you are sunburnt, too) and was left with only a tiny mark so me and Jim got to go out to the Minnack theatre to watch 'Love's Labour's Lost' when he was safe in bed.


*He knows Dogs say woof so I'm assuming this is a special nomenclature he's invented for something dog like that lives in the water)
