I was glad to learn that the ever-escaping Pokémon problem that I've been having is a glitch rather than a thing that just happens at my level. It's been a very frustrating week on that score but I did manage to find and catch my first ever Sandshrew. They're awfully cute :)

I've been too exhausted to go out and play today but I've been thoroughly amused by the shenanigans at our local gyms. I can see three from home and they've been mostly Team Instinct this week. One of them was a level 9 gym but Valor took it down last night and all three gyms have cycled through all three teams at various points today.
