Closer to home, they are dropping like flies.  Lost my sister  6 months ago (non-Covid, Parkinsons, late onset MS etc) , former work colleague a year ago (ill but Covid saw him off) plus several others. I guess its age-group related. Once you get to your 70s, there are many fewer years ahead than behind, and more Sympathy cards than Christmas cards. Can't change that, but to see some leaving us at a much earlier age is such a shame. Carpe Diem, everyone and yes, that means YOU!

My 12 year old daughters, next door neighbours Jack Russel, Harry. She was 16. A very lovely friendly fun female dog, the swear filter will not let me use the B word.

"I am the avenging angel; I come with wings unfurled, I come with claws extended from halfway round the world. I am the God Almighty, I am the howling wind. I care not for your family; I care not for your kin. I come in search of terror, though terror is my own; I come in search of vengeance for crimes and crimes unknown. I care not for your children, I care not for your wives, I care not for your country, I care not for your lives." - (c) Jim Boyes - "The Avenging Angel"

A few newspaper websites have this story but I won't link them here.

The body of an Indonesian boy, 8, cut from the inside of a crocodile after he was killed while swimming.

I mean, what the actual ? I think that is one of the most harrowing things I've ever read. There is even a pixelated video on one news sites FFS.

Those sorts of things happen in Australia too.  Sharks and crocodiles. Although we never show the body extraction in the media.
