But what I'll remember of this article is that Male thylacine had their dick in their pocket  how cool is that!

They were unique among marsupials in that both sexes had a pouch. The female's pouch, like most marsupials (the kangaroo, for example), had teats inside and was used for feeding (milk) and protecting the young, before they were old enough to fend for themselves. But in the case of the male thylacine, the pouch was actually a scrotal pouch, into which they could withdraw their scrotal sac ("ball bag") for protection.

[I suspect the French word "poche" (meaning pocket) and the English word "pouch" probably derive from the same original root... ]

Hello there young Albert

5.45am and Looping is scratching at something in my room and wakes Minion up so I get up to lock them out of my room and in the living room. I hear noises... dad is in front of the tv happily ironing with a big pile of clothes already ironed by his side... when I asked he says he couldn't sleep anymore and has been ironing for over an hour already

Me, I'm going back to sleep

Two headlines in The Journal (an online Irish Newspaper) caught my eye this morning...

1. Storm Ellen: Over 100,000 homes and businesses across the country without power 

(I'm currently boiling water for coffee over a camping stove, as my electricity has been off for the last hour. I'm hoping it will be back soon, but shall also fill a vacuum flask with hot water, just in case.)

 

2. Wildfires wreak havoc as thousands evacuated amid 'extraordinary weather' in California

(The state of California has recorded 11,000 lightning strikes in 72 hours.)

Bill Nichols, 84, fights to save his home as fires tear through Vacaville, in California.

Happy Thursday, everyone.

Ironing would send me to sleep

This is German but seems more appropriate for Canada

It translates literally to: "You are by far the best."

But, as Abstand can also translate to distance, it may also mean: "You are at the best distance."

G'day y'all. It's a lovely cool morning here. Temp in the low 60's/17° with comfortable humidity and bright sunshine. I'm going to take the opportunity to do some weeding in flowerbeds and mow the grass.
