My friend Nelly
This is my friend Nelly. She looks after the nursery group in the forest, which is shocking if you've ever seen 16 chimpanzees under 5 running haywire. Think kindergarten on crack, speed and steriods. She catches me up on all the gossip and I nag her to make this electrician she's been going out with for 3 years marry her. I would start to rant about how men seem to suck up the best, most reproductive years of a woman's life then dump her just as her ovaries start to decline at 35 just because technically he can reproduce till 70, but I won't. It's not that kind of blog. Anyway, Nelly is really cool. Her dad was a gorilla ranger before he got shot in the Brazzaville war and now Nelly works with chimps. I think her dad would be super proud of her.
