It's been an awful week

[cornerofmadness]

I could use your good thoughts/prayer etc because even more bad crap could happen next week I'd appreciate it. Thanks. I'll also accept cute animal pics, songs and other distractions. I could use that too.

The funny part of it is kerk_hiraeth sent me a funny FB reel that honestly would have been running thru my head in today's meeting. It's a tad NSFW so if you want to see it, I'll DM it, just ask.


I did get a few stories written for me this week.
Mettle League of Legends

In the Defense of Dani Prodigal Son/Buffyverse AU

Also in a bit of good news. Rocket's wounds seem to be healing well.

It is snowing. I am glad.

I see you have a cat. How about this thief to cheer you up?

thanks so much. The cats, otters and baby animals (and wallpapers) were great but it's that crow I love.

Funny thing Last Friday Night ST and March of Cambreath are saved in my favorites already (the latter's lyrics inspired another character of mine)

Re: Thoughts

[ysabetwordsmith]

The crow is one of my favorite examples of tool use in animals, because it's recreational rather than practical.

Re: Thoughts

[cornerofmadness]

Yes crows are amazing that way

When I was a child I had a Labrador Retriever who watched us sledding on those plastic sleds and she took over one. She'd ride it to the bottom, take it by the pull rope, go back up the hill and do it again and again

So many hugs!

[cornerofmadness]

thank you

[aien_hime]

So sorry to hear things are not well dear. I'll be thinking of you.

[cornerofmadness]

thank you

Sorry to hear about the crappy week. *hugs* But at least good news about Rocket, yay!
All the positive vibes and prayers for you for the next week! *hugs again*

Here are a few YT-Links for you:

Street Music from the XIII to XVI century

I don't know if you're familiar with/ already following The Welsh Viking, but if not, it's a great channel about reserach-based but often also nerdy Viking-related subjects. Even for somebody not into Vikings I think some of his vids are interesting. Some are also about Wales which might be your thing.

Speaking of channels, another favourite of mine is Simple Living Alaska, a couple living off-grid and doing vegetable gardening, keeping chickens and bees (yes, that's right) and also doing a lot of fishing, previously in the South of Alaska. Now they've moved further to the north and are experiencing their first winter in a much harsher climate. Their vids are always entertaining as they're a fun and cute couple, and there are also often beautifly nature shots and drone flights and interesting recipes or meal descriptions.

And finally some cat vids for a laugh.

[cornerofmadness]

thank you! Loved the medieval music and the cats

I have been following Jimmy for a few years (I really should shove a crowbar into my wallet and start being a patron) Thanks for reccing him.

I'll give the Alaskan couple a look, thanks for the suggestion.
