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.
Good morning, all. Pretty sure today is some kind of national eat food and watch tv holiday.
Hello and welcome to the (approximate) weekend. Time to get closer to the things that make you happy, and chill for a while.
Hi all, it's Friday, and time for Fur Faces! Sorry for the late post, it's been a week, hope yours is going better than mine!
In any event, let's get to it with the best of last week!
First up we have Reggie enjoying a good rest at Maya24's:

I went out for dinner last night with my retired colleague A, to a restaurant/pub we've been to before, and I ordered their penne with sun dried tomatoes, feta cheese and black olives in tomato sauce, which I've had before. My plate arrived and I started digging in, and thought: "This is way hotter than I remember", but kept going. I was about halfway through, and thought "There are no olives". I was on the subway going home, when I realized "There was no feta cheese either". It was in a tomato sauce, so it was hard to tell if there were sun dried tomatoes or not. My friend said that it sounded like an arrabiata sauce, which is spicy.
Now, it was very noisy in the restaurant, so our server had some trouble hearing our orders, but I pointed it out on the menu, so there would be no errors.
When I got home, I looked up the menu online; no penne with arrabiata sauce. The only other thing with a tomato sauce was a spaghetti bolognese.
I think I was served something that was not on the menu! Which is a wrong thing. Maybe it was what the staff were having for dinner, but if they were out of the penne with sun dried tomatoes, feta cheese and black olives in tomato sauce, they should have told me, not made a substitution without asking. What about people with food allergies? If it was the bolognese sauce over the penne, then it had meat in it, and I ordered a vegetarian dish (not vegan, not with the cheese)
Anyway, I'm off tomorrow, and will be going to the dentist to see about this new night guard that they think I need.
