Sidechat

I’m a bit too busy with clinics to play, but maybe more over the weekend?

I will also say, I have been in a huge Halloween kick, my GF and I watched the Disney Channel movie “Mr. Boogedy” last night. It isn’t good but it’s a lot of fun!
 
I'll be gone for two weeks from tomorrow on, I'm going on a vacation to Lisbon and Madeira. My first longer journey in years (you know pandemic, study, money etc...). So excited! Hope to see some cetaceans in the waters of the island. Also planning on visiting Lisbon Zoo and Lisbon Oceanarium, hoping to spot their Iberian lynxes and northern sea otters.
Unfortunately did not find the time yet to check out the new DLC, the timing of the release is really unfortunate for me this time haha. Guess I'll dive into in two weeks then.
See you!
That's going to be so awesome! I love Portugal although haven't been to Lisbon, only Porto and further north, but it is an absolutely beautiful country full of beautiful beautiful humans (and animals!). Big heatwave in Europe right now so pack light!

Try the special local drink: porto tonico. white port with tonic and a slice of orange. Very refreshing!
 
Oh that is nice. I love to visit zoos and aquariums on my travels, unfortunately, everyone I go with is not really that much of a zoo nerd like me, so they always want to rush through the enclosures while I want to take it nice and slowly. 😂

I havent really had a time to play with the pack, I am hosting a Bday party in my place on Saturday so I am all in a cleaning mode. I also painted my terrace so I am totally done today. Cannot bring myself to play even. Just chilling by the TV now.
Well done!! Epic day 💪 I was similarly inspired to be productive in my home: I cleaned the pantry and reorganised all my jars of seeds and rice (this gives me great pleasure 😂) then I cleaned out all the kitchen cupboards and the fridge, and tidied all my makeup away (it was in a huge sprawl all over the living room 😂)

God I love putting thing in jars and labelling them 💗

That all took more hours than you might expect and so I got only 20 minutes into watching Anora. Seems great but I'll finish it tomorrow bc girl, I am beat and going to bed 💤
 
Aight, so I sat down to enjoy memory lane and play some SpongeBob SquarePants Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated (I used to have the original on Xbox), and I accidentally erased my game, which was almost 100% complete🤦🏼‍♂️
I even 100% the tedious Kelp Forest and SpongeBob's Dream levels
 
You’re so kind! The wedding was great everything was flawless! Most pictures don’t send well on the forums for me but I hope this one worked 🙏. We really wanted to splurge a lot on the honeymoon and we went on a Disney Cruise through the Caribbean and it was absolutely amazing. She doesn’t play many video games but she joins me for rounds of overcooked and Mario Kart here and there. She loves animals! Not as much as me and she isn’t a whole Zoology nerd but she’s always loving and giving personalities to the cute critters and genuinely is in love with raccoons (like it’s a near obsession lol)View attachment 433418
Congratulations! Very happy for you.

Oh I love this! cooking is so much more fun when everything is nice and organized. I need to get those labels, it looks really good.

Oh and I am totally the same with all my make-up things. Once in a while I organize them but as I am using them I end up not taking them back to the same place because I am in a rush or something. My boyfriend always complains there is make-up all over the place. 😅

Yes about the heat, it will be an issue in Lisbon. On Madeira it's really nice right now, outside of the rain season and around 20 to 25°C. But in Lisbon will be 35 to 37°C this weekend and it will only become a bit cooler when we already have left, very unlucky...
Thanks for the tip! I already got tons of tips for food, drinks and things to do from a friend from my work. He's Portuguese and from close by Lisbon actually :D

Haha yeah exactly, I think makeup multiplies every time I go out! :ROFLMAO: I have a bit of an airport problem where I spend time waiting for the gate looking at all the makeup and perfume 😬

I just got this to organise it all. It's really good! It's quite big and it spins around so it's finally easy to find everything, instead of emptying out tonnes of bags :)

And the labels for jars I got were these ones -

I try not to buy from Amazon toooo much (Bezos can go to hell) but these things I just won't find in my town or anywhere nearby and they are really good :)

Yeah same for my friend who is going to France next week, she has been waiting for this holiday for aaaages and planned lots of nice things, but it's going to be 37C and probably too hot to do anything except find an aircon cafe and stay indoors! Lisbon will have lots of pretty shady churches/cathedrals and galleries to explore on your very hot days, so I'm sure you'll still be able to do lots of things :) Probably all the animals in the zoo will be sleeping or hiding in their shade boxes and indoor areas.

In England it's going to be 33C, which is just at the tip end of the temps I like. I'm just about to take the dog out for a long walk, 27C today is perfect for us, hot and sunny but not scorching his little peets.
 
I live down the road from a decently sized regional theme park called Wild Adventures. I honestly forget about it cuz it’s not the best. Anyway, my brother moved to a new house that butts up to the park boundary and look at the view from his backyard. It’s the Green Monkey enclosure. LOL. I’m gonna be out there all the time! 🤣

Man, I wish I lived next to monkeys. I wonder, isn't it loud to be right next to a theme park?

That's sick! So jelly, what a cool place to live! I would be tempted to build a little treehouse up at eye level with the monkes and hang out with them all the time 😁

Also gorgeous trees 😍

I will get those labels for sure though. It nice that you can write your own on them. I have some random things stored in my kitchen containers not just the basic rice and oats, so that will come handy. 😂

I just looked up the park. It seems like a fun enough place. I also looked up green monkeys to see if it was another name for vervet monkeys because I thought they looked similar. Turns out, they're two different species in the same genus.
 
I just watched the first episode of Walking with Dinosaurs. Poor baby Clover 😭 Are all the episodes going to be this tear jerky? I wish they didn't make the carnivores look so mean and scheming. I mean, they must have had downtime.

What do you think about the theory that triceratops' frills could change colour? Is anything similar seen in any modern reptiles today? I guess I mean aside from chameleons...

Yeah the first episode especially has a little to much land before time vibe going on for my taste.

Color changing in lizards is somewhat common, bearded dragons for example make they beards black when threatened. And darkening skin to absorb more heat is also something that alot of them do. So i dont think its unreasonable that some dinosaurs could do something like that too.
I personally dont think is super reasonable for triceratops frills tho. Thos are, atleast in part, there to protect the neck, so pumping alot of blood in them when there is a high likely hood that your predator will bite onto it seems like a recipe for collabsing due to bloodloss.
I think the better explaination for the marks of bloodvessels on the frill is that they sustained a ceratin cover on that, which could be brightly covered for display purposes
 
So I had to do a long update on my laptop that took a couple of hours to just have this pop up, and I couldn't find a simple explanation or consent video on how to fix it. So do y'all know what to do
