p I was in the final stretch of a very long uphill walk, on the way back home, along with two equally tired friends. Along the way i passed a building that was some kind of otter sanctuary, with a pen of baby #[i aonyches cinerei] playing outside, and i stopped to watch them for a bit.

p Me and my family went on holiday to Malawi, and I caught a horrid, brain-fog-inducing disease from playing at the beach. (Malawi is a landlocked country. Don’t think about it too much.) Thankfully, it cleared up within the day, and we later went and bought some souvenirs from a suspiciously Geordie-sounding man.
