The trouble with these things is when I've left it a while I don't know where to start. Where I left off last time? The past week? Today? I want to include everything, but the number of things is always increasing.

| A calm moment |
I'm relying on photos to remind me what's been going on, but also a lot of my updates aren't any deeper than 'hey look at this thing I found'. Still, I want to put out as much as I can.
 |
| It's time for the Parka |
so here are a few things I've spotted while out and about. Very silly. There will be more of this so be patient.
 |
| Dan was amused (or confused?) By this |
 |
| I don't know why but that just sounds dirty |
 |
| Now looking for gonk hats to put on Christmas trees |
 |
| Don't let the Bells End |
Another cool thing this month is the horror advent calendar from https://orbific.com/
A little piece of dark (but festive!) Piece of microfiction every day. Some of them are funny. Some of them are a gut punch. I'll update later on with some of my favourites.
On the theme of laughing and crying, the best thing I've read recently is probably Life Hacks for a Little Alien by Alice Franklin.
For the first few chapters of this I swung so quickly between amusement and outrage, I don't totally identify with the protagonist (I'm not diagnosed on the spectrum in any way) but i was a Weird Kid and I remember exactly how frustrating it was to be a Weird Kid who didn't understand how the world works and just wanted it to make sense and be fair (I still don't understand how the world works, who does?).
So, what else has been going on?

| How your email finds me |
Ferrets continue to be their hilarious little furry selves. They're actually sleeping more at the moment with the days being shorter- they're meant to be Crepyscular, meaning active at dusk and dawn. They usually manage the dawn bit, although they're used to waiting a few hours for me in the summer so they can deal with me prodding them when it's still dark in winter. But with it getting dark at 4pm, all bets are off on when in the evening they'll actually want to play.
 |
| This is their most common state |
Combination of advent calendars means I'm getting a good balance of chocolate puns and existential dread.
Precious continues to live up to her name... but with the occasional fart
 |
| This is when the fart occurred. |
I will round up with some more shop tat and decorations. Then next entry I'm going up be starting with pictures taken from 14th December which tells you either how distracted I've been or how many pictures i take.
A balanced lunch at the marina (6th December)
A Santa who is not at all terrifying
 |
| Some Christmas art |
 |
| Night view |
 |
| More Precious being precious |
And now I shall leave you with this. I haven't managed to get much Christmas up yet, but I made this vague attempt at a Mari Lwyd which is hopefully confusing some neighbours.
