9/11 I was in Greece. Walking back from the beach I wondered why there were so many people crowded around the tv in the tavernas but presumed it must be footbal or soemthing. Called home later on with flight details and got a shrot synopsis before my phonecard ran out. It was another couple of days before the English papers arrived and we got a full report.

Reading about the deaths of two people, a loving married couple, has upset me more than most famous people.

The composer and his wife taking the one way ticket to Dignitas has really done it for me.

Specially the day after all the news about the fact we'll have to pay insurance or sell our homes to pay for our care in old age.

I think I may do the equivalent of the Dignitas thing myself and maybe MrPR with me if he chooses.

But I would like to have the choice to do it in this country where my body could be then taken to London Anatomy Office where it could be freshly played with* by NHS Medical students.


That couple have really moved me with their bravery and dare I say it, common sense? That's how it came across to me.

I can't stop thinking of them actually. They had control while they could and did not wither badly in some underfunded hospital. I was at home and read about it on BBC news online.


*studied, of course!

    • Let’s not all get scared of the foxes now. Most likely explanation is protecting its den or association with food. We have foxes, and cats and they are no bother to each other. The fox will leave when the cats are out.   
    • I remember seeing something a few years ago on TV about a fox that was actually biting through people's shopping / takeaway food bags.  It was situated in an alleyway.  Not in London.  Very interesting in how the  urban foxes brain development has  been affected by their surroundings.   Not an exact quote from Darwin.  It's the adaptable that survive / not the strongest or the most intelligent.   I would be worried if a fox came close me.   Because they might be after my fur babies and they carry a lot of nasties.   Although they look beautiful from a distance or on a 🎄 card.  
    • Driving down Lordship lane around 2.45pm today saw a v sick looking fox walking in and out of the crowd. 
    • I know I'm a bit premature but don't want to forget through too much Chrisntas cheer! Southwark Council Christmas trees recycling arrangements 2025 - bit worrying for the future that they're emphasising the free bit.
