Anne has been quite busy over the past few days. She has had a visit from her Osteopath, who feels she has made progress from his last visit, she has another session booked soon. Earlier in the week she was visited by Sir David Attenborough who was here to do some filming. She was her usual polite and calm self around him, unlike her keepers who were rather overexcited. She also has had a visit from Lady Bath. Anne really has friends in high places!

Anne is doing well and we have finally got the scales up and running and have a weight from her: she is an ample 3690kg. This is extremely useful as we can now titrate the medical therapy and monitor weight as part of her longer time arthritis management. The scales were purpose built and gave our fabricators a challenge to make sure that they could hold her weight. Many thanks to Malcolm and Mark Ingram for making the scales.
