bunnYesterday, I saw a huge black crow eating a similarly huge dead white gull. It looked very Ominous.
Today I went for a swim and didn't get stung by a jellyfish, though one of the people I was swimming with did.
Pp and I decided we didn't know enough about the history of countries in Africa, so we're doing a blitz on African history doing a quick Wikipedia read-up/ Youtube whiz through on one country a day. Yesterday was Ethiopia, today is Sudan. Tomorrow is Eritrea.
I'm not sure how much of it will stick, but hopefully the odd bit? At a minimum I hope to more accurately be able to point to places on a map!
Speaking of maps, the Shop on the Borderlands now has sold things to customers in 46 countries. We've bought a map and some flag pins so we can see where they all are.
I took Theo for a social walk at the amazingly named Wolf's Castle, where, supposedly, the last wolf in Wales was killed. It seemed a pleasant spot for a stroll and Theo managed to not shout more than a token amount, even onlead and surrounded by other on-lead dogs (he finds leads hard! He's so much happier greeting off the lead.)
Pp has been diagnosed diabetic, which has come as a bit of a shock to him, given his usual diet of white bread cheese sandwiches, chocolate and (nearly) no veg. But he has risen to the challenge and bought an under-desk cycle, for exercise. He's eating a lot of boiled eggs now,but I need to work out some more low-carb recipes.

Enjoy your virtual tour of Africa! And I love that the Shop on the Borderlands has such an international customer base :D

Good boy! Balto managed to ignore a seal today. I was very proud.
Good luck with your recipe hunt for Pp. My typical low carb go-to recipes are things like veg curries and stir fries, which sound like they might not be his thing.
