It’s your weekly Photo Gallery! Come on in, take a look at what people have been up to over the past week and share some of your own photos.
They don’t need to be taken with a fancy camera or works of art. Share any SFW photos you’ve taken with even the poorest of potatoes. Of course we love to see that arty stuff too.

Thursday evening post
It's rained buckets here all day, and all I've done NOTHING all day! I do have some turkey dinner leftovers from dinner at my brother's, so I'll be warming that up a bit later, and it occurred to me that if there enough, I might be able to have a turkey sandwich tomorrow, which I haven't had for years. That's if there is enough.
No sign of any mouse over the last day or so; eaten? Escaped? If the house gets smelly, I guess I'll know.

Good evening.
It is Friday, December 22nd, 2023. And ok, the advent calendar shows the 21st, but the movie skips to the 24th for those scenes, so close enough will have to do.

Hello and welcome to the coziest corner of the internet - Fur Face Friday! Our friends were getting into the year-end vibe in last week's comments, indulging in many of the activities we humans do as the calendar winds down.

Twas the Thursday before Christmas ...
Everybody ready for Christmas? Got your shopping and prep done?
I have an unexpected invitation to my brother and sister-in-law's place on the 27th, when they will be doing their Christmas. This is the brother I haven't seen in about 10 years, so this should be interesting.
I will also be cat sitting for neighbours who are more than acquaintances, but a bit less than friends, and they had me over for a cheese and charcuterie board last night, and we went over some cat meds. They had a non-alcoholic drink (since I'm on an anti-anxiety drug, I can't have alcohol), that they got from Ikea, called vintersaga, a traditional Swedish Christmas drink, which is fruit juices and spices, and it was very, very good. Pretty sweet, but it went nicely with the salty food.

WINTER KILLS and so does Wednesday–Open Thread
Movies nobody cares about and nobody's watched but will gladly express an opinion on, part 5,328 in the series: In which first time feature director William Richert adapts the novel by Richard Condon (The Manchurian Candidate, Prizzi's Honor) and creates something strange and occasionally wonderful.

NEW BOOKS, OLD BANANAS – A Monday Night OT
Sci-fi/Speculative/Weird – the books anyway, the bananas should just get et. Not enough to make banana bread.
I'll get to these soonish. Currently rereading The Fisherman by John Langan and partway through Man in His Time: The Best Science Fiction Short Stories of Brian Aldiss* reading In Praise of Shadows by Jun'ichirõ Tanizaki; a long essay or short book, depending on your copy. (It's a few weeks days ago I'm typing this, fyi) Maybe I should read more books with "Man" in the title. Hannibal's recommended The Milkman by Anna Burns a couple of times so perhaps that's next. Then we can discuss it like so:
SQRLHey, The Milkman is so weird. Amazing.[Chris Farley sunglasses wow gif]HannibalIt really is.SQRLYeah.
SQRLThanks.HannibalYou're welcome!
Won't that be awesome.
What's everyone reading these days? Or whatever. Chat away.
* Finished. The Fisherman was pretty good. Will I remember it this time? Who knows. There were some standouts in the Aldiss collection. Let me know if you've read his stories or novels.
