Last week, at the end of my time on night shift, Theo was moved onto the gondola. I missed the operation itself but (thanks to camera and lens loans from John and Jon) I got some photos of the result.
We also concluded our epic water balloon fight. Sean and I won by getting the most wet, while wrestling over a garden hose. (Photos from Jon, shot by Becky)
