Scratch

Here you will find older scratches, musings and other detritus that once were located on the front pages, but have now faded.

Filed away here to collect dust and cobwwwebs in perpetuity, links may break, facts may change and data may corrupt.

On occasion I may come down here to tidy, but for the most, I prefer to leave the past where it lies.

 

Eddie

Although it happened sometime ago, I've either been busy or I haven't felt like typing as though it makes events more real. Anyway, a couple of weeks ago Eddie, my Australian Bearded Dragon, passed away following a very short illness. Whilst he fought to the end, it became clear during surgery that there was not much prospect of a good quality of life for the time he had left, so he went quietly to sleep and never woke up.

Its strange to look at the empty vivarium, and although they didn't know each other for very long, I think even Schrödinger misses him as he often goes and sits by it nalmost expecting Eddie to scamper out. He had a good long life and for 10 years he was a good friend. I hope he is happy wherever he is now, chasing locusts and sunning himself.
