The sun was high above us by the time I eventually arose
from my pit around noon. After about an hour, a cuppa and some chocolate cereal
(and some perhaps considerable time faffing about on my phone) I was ready
for action.
The animal rounds were conducted by Richard and I during
which I became acquainted with the newer animals here at the CFZ, e.g. the
semi-albino crow and the Japanese quails. I saw how the pond was completed
since my last visit as well as how the conservatory repairs are coming along.
Changing the water in the amphiuma tank took quite a while, partially because
the process by which we did it was slightly made up as we went along.
Following this and a short break a group of us went out to
the woods and filmed the introductory film for the Weird Weekend. The key role
in this production was a giant penguin with an AK47. In accordance with
tradition, there was also some footage of the village shop.
During the evening I managed to get in some more reading after freeing myself from the kittens. There was also some further discussion
on my personal research project, which seems to have lead to a viable idea, as
well as another lecture on cryptozoology. This lecture included the idea that
there are cryptids everywhere in the world. We watched a couple of episodes of The Future is Wild, stopping periodically to comment on the cryptozoological significance
of various things said. We also had a rather lovely fish supper. Yum.
