Before Christmas a few towns had ‘Christmas markets’ of various sorts, and at one place I saw this - a double decker carousel. Not seen one like that before! It has a flight of stairs spiralling around the centre and a top deck...

DE @Fleura That's not a bad price, though. I thought it would be more since it's a double-decker ride.

As I’ve mentioned a few times, I’m helping with the crew making props and scenery for the local pantomime, coming up in a couple of weeks. Preparations have been going on for months already. But now things keep going awry and the...

I sort of promised to write about this but I hope it doesn’t upset too many. Remember, I’m just stating facts. The fact is that, in Peru, guinea pigs are considered a delicacy. They are known there as ‘cuy’ and have been a part...

Judy Evans @Fleura There were news articles just a few months ago about going back to eating insects. I haven't seen any in our shops yet though. lol

Judy Evans @Fleura @AmbiePam I've had close relationships with cows and sheep. I see rabbits only as pests but I understand that many think they are very cute. The manner of their husbandry and death is all-important to me.

Judy Evans The more and more I hear about the Bible saying this, that and the other, the more I've come to believe it's just one, or more, person's interpretation. You can make the bible agree with just any way-out view you may have. @xFiacre @Fleura

Fiacre Banks @Fleura Yes, it’s a pity that the loud-mouthed, belligerent fundamentalists get the quiet majority of people of faith a bad name.

Amber @Fleura Oh, I have definitely considered that question before. I think to me, the level of intelligence in the animal being eaten matters, as well as what kind of companionship they provide to humans. Cows aren’t as intelligent as dogs, they...

Amber @Fleura So as long as the dogs and cats are treated well before they are eaten, it wouldn’t bother you? That’s an attitude I understand, but I know I’ll never share. I truly hope the organizations set on stopping the consumption of dog meat in certain areas of...

much2say @Fleura You have to work "big" and it has to work visually so the audience in the way back can see. It just doesn't help when the director makes drastic changes after so much work was already done.
