Eventually, harmony was found.
Both had their space.
Both had their sacks.
Every human watching declared them to be adorable, as was right & proper

The youngster was having none of it.
It moved on too, finding a new nearby spot with its own sack. WIN!
Many shenanigans with the sack ensued, not all of them successful.
The adult watched.

Going to finish the zoo thread with a mini orangutan photo story.
There was a young ape who clambered up to an adult one, despite slight vibes of "I am up here for some peace and quiet".
The adult grabbed its sack (not a euphemism) & moved on, found a new spot & pulled the sack on as a cape.

Ältere unter uns kennen vielleicht das verlinkte Spiel noch: "Spiel der Nationen" (Erscheinungsdatum 1975, <https://www.spieletest.at/gesellschaftsspiel/80/Das-Spiel-der-Nationen>). Lange habe ich mich als angehender Pazifist dafür geschämt, es gespielt zu haben. jjetzt ist das dadurch angeeignete Wissen ganz nützlich, also, beim Verstehen des Nahost-Gedöns: <https://www.telepolis.de/features/USA-bieten-Iran-bis-zu-30-Milliarden-Dollar-fuer-zivile-Atomanlagen-10462958.html?wt_mc=rss.red.tp.tp.atom.beitrag.beitrag>

Right I'm off to channel my inner orangutan, and gaze thoughtfully into the distance while nibbling some supper before heading off to bed. Sleep well all

Have I mentioned how great the orangutans were? I might have mentioned how great the orangutans were.
But still. ORANGUTAN!

Orang-Utans machen’s wie wir: Nach einer schlechten Nacht holen sie tagsüber mit einem Nickerchen Schlaf nach! 
Forscher fanden heraus, dass sie so jede Stunde Schlafmangel ausgleichen. Mehr dazu im Artikel: https://www.n-tv.de/wissen/Schlechte-Nacht-gehabt-Dann-legen-sich-Orang-Utans-noch-mal-hin-article25857615.html #OrangUtan #Schlaf #Wissenschaft #newz

I am now going to channel the serenity of this orangutan, think peaceful thoughts, and head off to sleep. Sweet dreams all

Side note on the whole Silly Summer Hatting thing.
We went on a trip to the zoo last week, and as I watched a fantastic orangutan grabbed a sack and made themselves a Silly Summer Hat.
What a star 
I will, inevitably, sort through and post my favourite photos from the trip at some point soon, but here's a starter.

One of the few zoo highlights provided by the toddler orangs who, despite the heat, were full of beans and ready for play! One of the young adults had drawn the short straw and was on babysitting duty. I feel the expression says it all.
