Very happy to say, thanks to the wonderful festival-goers who purchased my sea turtle plushies at the The Ontario Pirate Festival, we have now made a donation to the Ontario Turtle Conservation Center! Quite a few people had never heard of them, so here's a little video.

Ahoy, Squidizens! It’s the last day of The Ontario Pirate Festival and well didn’t we get lucky, after a day of too hot and a day of too cold, today is indeed “Just Right”! Although instead of a bowl of porridge, we’re all having a nice bowl of chili. Apparently our mimics like their food hot and spicy.

Ahoy, Squidizens! The Ontario Pirate Festival day 2 reminds of the old tale of Goldilocks and the Three Festival Days. Day 1 was too hot, and Day 2 is too cold (and wet)…pray to the ursine deities that Day 3 is just right!

Avast! The Ontario Pirate Festival is upon us, and the krakens have already started making trouble! As soon as the thermometer hit 26°, they started crashing the mermaid’s pool party! Please come pay his bail. It’s the only way to lift the curse the mermaid put on us.

Gasp! A crime wave at festival setup! A little robber caught red-handed right on my stock bin! 😜
(Non-bug nerds might be interested to learn that this interesting-looking fellow is a robber fly! They’re rather like flying spiders in their lifestyle. 😜)

Fergus Medieval Faire is in full swing! Fortunately we got our tent up over the pavement before it could fry us like Scotch eggs, but we could still use a sweet highland breeze…maybe we can sing for it?
🎶Oh Wubby boy, the cubes, the cubes are jiggling…🎶

One week to go, and we'll be in the Peddler's Village (the square across the river) at Booth 28E (the middle of the middle row)!

This world snake day, Linguini is hissing at our hazardous smoke-filled air and would especially love to huff and strike at our provincial government for slashing our wildland firefighting budget by half and then putting out self-congratulatory BS posts on Facebook that they “stand with the firefighters” while people up in the Northwest have had their entire communities burned to ashes for lack of monitoring, water-bombers, forestry management or enough firefighting personnel.

Pirate Festival is right on the heels of Fergus Faire- so we decided to send Wubby diving for some nice treasure chests. The ones he brought back sure are snappy…. 👅
