Things I did today: 

Dug up a dead fox; cycled to the most depressing supermarket in the world, bought a baffling colouring book; fed Bear Cub the stray; finally got around to cleaning behind the cacti; got stabbed in the eye by an aloe vera; found three very dead moths, one butterfly and a megaspider. I don’t know what the Latin name for this species is, as in my experience its entire geographical range is localised solely within this house, but I can tell you that it’s unusually large for this country/climate/side-of-the-thin-veil-separating-this-reality-from-a-nightmarish-Lovecraftian-netherworld-of-monsters.
