IT’S MONDAY MORNING and you might not be in the best of form.

Sure, the weather seems okay, but you could be a hayfever sufferer (in which case, you have our solidarity) or an England/Leitrim/Cork/Monaghan/Dublin/Laois/Westmeath fan who’d rather forget the weekend’s sporting activity.

Well, here’s one chance to raise a smile this morning: meet 13-week-old Simba the lion cub, who’s made some unusual friends – a dog and a rabbit.

13-week-old Simba had to be raised at home by zookeepers in Glasgow after he fell ill – where he made his new domestic pals.

Happy Monday, everyone.
