Fur Face Friday
TGIFFF! I spent a lot of time out of my comfort zone lately. In the company of hoomans. Where, just like last week's fur faces, I met some new people and reconnected with old friends. Which reminded me of a Girl Scout camp song. Make new friends...

Thursday evening open thread.
Did all my errands today, and a couple more that I thought of while I was going to and from.
I'm starting to organise my thoughts about what I need to take to the cottage. I haven't tested the steripen yet, to see if I broke it on the way home, but if it does work, that saves me having to transport 20 litres of water across in the row boat and up through the forest from the boat landing. I'm hoping I can reduce things down so that I only have to make one trip in the boat, rather than the usual two. So I'm cutting down on things like cans, and dairy and will opt for dried stuff as much as possible, so dried soups instead of canned, etc.

Sunday evening OT
Given all the excitement this weekend, it seems like the ideal time to share these.
Important deer update. This girl dropped by yesterday. She clearly has babies hanging out somewhere since she has a full udder.

I've got mostly nothing; still tired from the last two days, but treated myself to a lemon cranberry scone for breakfast (nobody gets between OWYAC and her scones!) and cheese popcorn for lunch.
And unfortunately, it looks like the search for the Titan sub has come to an end. A sad conclusion, but what hubris. It's like these foolish rich guys thought that their wealth and privilege would protect them from the laws of physics and common sense wasn't necessary.

It's been a very rainy, uneventful day!
Enjoy this page from a very banned book about penguins.
If you're having some family time today I hope you're enjoying it!

Thursday evening open thread
I have been a slug all day; I was going to have a nap, but I couldn't even get around to that!
Kia is getting better as the day goes on and under the heading of "baby steps", she stood up and got out of her bed by herself with no assistance from me, as I was sitting about 4 ft away. I think she's tired of being in her bed.
I made a reddit post on the Kelpie subreddit warning owners of older dogs of what to look out for with this vestibular disease. I'd never heard of it until now, because I've never had a dog make it to much more than 11, but it turns out that it's fairly common in older dogs.

May you Thursday not make you think about playing dead till at least 1pm local time.
