Thursday is where more interesting things start happening. I work from home on Thursday's, and it's a good thing I do because we had a minor disaster on the farm (yes I live on an actual honest to god farm with tractors and everything). My sister has a horse (she's called Shakiah (the horse not my sister)), and she decided to make a daring escape. I had to help her recover the horse, and we ended up walking about 5 kilometers each way tracking hoof across 8 crop fields. Good exercise and all that, but I'd rather not do it again.

Recently I've been watching my friend 7thArmstrong streaming some speedruns on [his twitch channel](https://twitch.tv/7tharmstrong). He's been running an old N64 game called Rocket: Robot on Wheels, and a recent climbing game called Jusant. I started playing both of them a bit myself (they're good!). Seeing him speedrun got me inspired to pick up speedrunning again, learning new games and revisiting ones I've ran before. I figured a good place to start was the first game I ever ran, Out There Somewhere.

Friday morning was spent relearning and doing some initial de-rust runs of the game. I decided to stream my runs like I used to. By the end of it I'd got a new personal best time by almost 2 and a half minutes. Seems like I was really bad back when I started speedrunning huh?

I have a cute Border Collie puppy called Calliope and she's just about to turn 6 months old. Because we're on a farm she's a little bit isolated from other dogs. We've taken puppy training classes which are in a group, so she's had a bit of socialisation, but it's all been on-lead stuff. So to help with her socialisation we booked a spot at a puppy social event on Saturday afternoon ran by the training school. Calliope has an insane amount of energy, she's a Border Collie, of course she does. I spent all morning trying to wear her out a bit because I didn't want her to be too overwhelming for the younger dogs. We went for our morning 2.5k walk, played frisbee in the garden, and splashed around in my niece's paddling pool, and by the end of it she had a bit of a rest before we headed out.

The puppy social was fantastic. I didn't take any pictures, so just imagine 10-15 puppies having fun for an hour. Calliope's first off-lead session was with 2 labradors who had already had a minute to get friendly. She avoided them for a bit, just sniffing around the outside until they noticed her and came over to say hello. She was a bit nervous so we paused and gave her some space. Her next session she came in with some smaller fluffy dogs (I don't know their breeds sorry!) and she loved it. Most of the other puppies that weren't tiny got brought in at this point and they all had their own little groups of play which was nice. Calliope was really good at reading the tone of other dogs and respecting their boundaries which was great! She liked being chased and being the chaser, but she's much faster than the other dogs and made sure to match their pace, stop when they stopped, and take turns. We also got to see one of the puppies from her training classes, a German Shepherd called Logan. He's really cute, but unfortunately a bit too reactive so he didn't get an opportunity to go off-lead.
