Regular readers know how much we enjoy this. Alas, we missed it! Well not all of it, we had a few shows set to record and caught them. I had grand plans for this year and our must see TV, Shark Week 2024 on Discovery.
Normally, I post "farmshark" sightings but didn't get any pics done this year either. It seems Hurricane Beryl had other plans for us.
This was the schedule (click to enlarge).
On Monday July 8th, Houston was hit by the hurricane. Sigh. While we didn't lose power for long, the internet and cable TV were longer to come back fully. Things we had set to record didn't and half the time the guide didn't work so we couldn't set new ones to record each night. Oh well. They'll be repeated so we can just keep this listing for future reruns.
I got gifts for us! The plan was to give them in the middle of the week. Again, grand plans, ha. Ocean color gift bags and red tissue paper. Seemed "sharky" to me.
Found a couple of fun gifts for us. These are "Bento boxes" that I was going to head to the store and fill with some candies, his favorites and mine. I wanted gummy fish and gummy sharks and even saw some dark chocolate sharks. But alas, no going to the store to get them on my lunch break. Well, we can use them later for something fun. And then what are the other things? They are shark socks! They go up your ankle, mouth up, so it looks like a shark is attacking. No, we won't wear them out in public, ha, but when it's cold this Winter, we'll be able to remember the warm days of Summer (and the hurricane?!? ha).
And we didn't forget about Hobart!
Look at these:
Little shark cat toys!!! I mean, how perfect is that? Hobart was thrilled. Notice one is missing? Pictures of him "attacking the shark" coming soon!
I was a little bummed about missing it, but 2nd Man reminded me of something: next year, shark week will be on our new big TV in our NEW HOUSE!
SHARK WEEK AT THE FARM?
LET'S DO IT!
