Today I learnt a few things or maybe even reacquainted myself with others.
Robert De Niro has reached the age that when he smiles you can't see his eyes.
My wife built a fence in a time long past that has just been on the telly, the programme was visiting a farm where she worked, way back then.
My chainsaw is sick, it's just not right and the intention to zip through the well seasoned wood for this and next winter's fuel was more of a wimper than a roar.
However I get a buzz out of chopping wood into stove ready chunks.
The meat industry now consume a 80% of all antibiotics. This added to the continual (it seems) news about animal welfare, doubts about food provenance make me less inclined to indulge in chicken and red meat. More veggies, fish and less meat for me I think.
We have snow but where my sister lives has SNOW! In the U S of A even the snow is super sized.
An octogenarian zoologist communicating with a blind infant rhinoceros can bring a tear to my eye.

Your animal comment is precisely why I gave it all up, the more I read and educated myself the more ridiculous and disturbing it all seemed so it went. Not that I was ever ripping into huge steaks or sitting down to roast dinners every Sunday. Some farming practise and how it pertains to animal welfare is quite sad.
Indeed they are.
