Very sad and distressed about the photo of the baby tort being eaten by bugs. :( :( :(
I wish there was a way I could get it off my computer. :(
Sorry, probably shouldn't have posted that one.
There was an article on BBC Earth about how people don't react to birds eating worms or mammals eating insects etc, but when invertebrates eat backboned animals it seems to upset us. Opposite to our notion of the order of things. I thought it was interesting and relevant
But I'm sorry to have caused any distress. :(
It's not a very nice picture.

What are your plans in Spain?
Lots of beer, mostly.
But it's time to stock up on some of the stuff we can't get here, pork sausages and bacon, some British goods, a visit to the Saturday market and a night at the English theatre if something good's on.:)
I don't think we'll spend much time on the beach.
Cold weather and rain forecast. :(

My Danish course on a website called Duolingo had a sentence that translates as "The man eats the turtles" (manden spiser skildpadderne). It upset me a great deal. It's not about invertebrates. It's about torts :(
Fortunately for Duolingo, the next lesson featured a tea-drinking tort, and I adopted that as my avatar :)
