Whether you laughed out loud or just had a really happy moment, we want to hear all about it.
I discovered the Quoakka thanks to Lemmy, they’re really cute little things. I found a cuddly toy version for sale! I’ve used the brand before it’s solid and well made so I’ve ordered one.
There’s a whole island on the west(I think?) coast of Australia where you can visit little quokkas!
The last time we visited Australia, we were only in Victoria and Tasmania, but found a wildlife park that had platypus encounters. They let you put on wetsuits and get in a tank of chest high water to “play” with a youngish female platypus (no spurs, no venom). By “play” we had to stand pretty still and let her explore us. She was very curious. And then they let us hand feed her. My soul left my body. It was the best day ever.
I was at a community arts/crafts event this weekend and met someone who was also rocking a point-and-shoot digital camera (though his was about 20 years newer than mine lol), and we got to talking, and he seems really cool and we’re going to try and meet up this week and do some photography. I’ve been sick or out of the state or had emergency family stuff come up for the last 3 weeks of planned social events I’ve had, so it was really nice to talk to someone and engage for a bit, I was starting to get really lonely.
The craft was making cyanotype with Apollo 15 lunar command module film strips, which was… frickin’ awesome.
Here are some of the shots from said 28 year old camera (at their original size, just as they came off the 2Mb memory card)

My honey downloaded the Oblivion remaster for me. I think he was waiting for a bigger sale or for us to play through some of our other unopened games, but I really really wanted to start it and he obliged. 😍
My FIL is worried about being able to pay the balance of the bill for the hvac people installing his new heat pump today. My SIL has been keeping him at her house following a short hospital stay, so I’m on deck at his house to let hvac people in, etc. I tried to tell him that I don’t think they’re gonna hold me up by my ankles and shake the money out of me if he can’t produce a check this evening. He says that exactly why he’s not coming to the house himself and instead “sacrificing” me. It may have been one of those you had to be there moments, but it really had me cracking up.
