saturday something something

Its OK to acknowledge our imperfections – wouldn’t it be dull if we all were perfect? ..

How true is that yet people strive for perfection We all stive for perfection sometimes at the expense of others which is really not always a good thing. the perfection we aim for is to prove ourselves better than others – what does that get us?

………. And good morning Saturday – as I write this I am enjoying some cinnamon raisin rolls umm my favorite – any one want some? . This is the Saturday where I have a wedding to attend a relatively important relative, a day where I head out to see my aunt at the hospital again and later the panda’s will have their Animal Enrichment Day and the update of the panda is do the panda’s groom themselves.

I hear a little birdie chirping as the sun makes its way to the top though it looks like its being covered by dark clouds – I hope it doesn’t rain today because of the wedding otherwise bring on the rain … *smiles*. And no news from “C” in 3 days – no idea why but me hopes everything is ok ..

No dreams last night non that I remembered – its pretty hazy and maybe it wasn’t good either – I remember a dentist in my dream and some real evil people – just as well I don’t choose to remember things like that would just be a damper for my day ;)) …

Everyday is something new learnt about the panda’s – as much as the panda cam has been a pain of late, the pictures and updates makes up for it seeing that when the cam is actually moving mei lan is fast asleep in her favorites curling positions .. So pandas grooming and we thought only humans want to be clean and look good. I reckon it may seem primitive to us how the pandas groom themselves but I think in their own way and world it’s the best thing to do …

One of the questions we are frequently asked is about how giant pandas groom themselves. They are very dog-like in their grooming behavior. They scratch themselves with their claws and against objects and nibble their fur, but don’t lick themselves. Although their fur often appears very white, particularly on film, parts of it are somewhat yellowish. Their fur does seem to repel dirt, but it’s normal for their lower back and rump to be stained from spending so much time sitting on the ground while feeding. They sometimes use their water pools to cool off or to play, but not to bathe. Clad in classic black and white, giant pandas have the good fortune to always look well-groomed even when they are not.
