I went to Barcelona yesterday to pick up Ben from the coach station (London to Barna via Paris). So Ben is home. Seven weeks in Britain and the journey have really taken it out of her. And the day she comes back -- wall to wall rain.

My late mother-in-law, upon seeing a gull and forgetting what it was called, declared it to be a "Gucci pigeon". They have been called such in our family ever since. I love "Wizard Chicken", too!

Interestingly Facebork doesn't admit the existence of Xerta. During Franco's time (and the banning of the Catalan language) the village was known as Cherta -- the defunct railway station still has Cherta signage. FB insists on the Francoist spelling (reason 45,189 FB sucks).

view/css/mod_admin.css - comment out or remove the 'pre code' and 'code' declarations so it will use the theme default. Hopefully this will be seen by somebody who can apply the change to the git. I'm in the middle of some hairy testing.

Are we meant to be seeing a map in your post here? Do I need a plugin for that?

I just see text that says: Xerta, Spain

I see a map too, the embedded OpenStreetMap with Xerta in the centre

!Hubzilla Support Forum Somebody mentioned the dark theme which I haven't used for ages, so I thought I'd turn it on for a bit. I've encountered a display bug I think. Please see following screenshot (OpenStreetMap addon info page):

I can read the text in the white if I select it.

!Music Listening to Polyvinyl Craftsmen (Transmission 310) this afternoon -- pretty much electronica of various strains. Pushed a few buttons for me and well worth a listen. One of the highlights -- suddenly I was in The Arches nightclub in Sheffield freaking out to this. Fact: The Arches had the best mugs of tea I've ever had in a nightclub anywhere.

And like any era looking back, how the music looks depends on where you were, who you were with, how chemically altered you were and what else was going on in your life. I look back at that time with great warmth and this tune did a Proust on me.

Can this week get any better? Done guests breakfast -- all good. Start to feed the animals and am just sorting the chickens out. I hear unfamiliar barking, running about and general commotion and start to run back to the house.

I see a pack of six or eight stray dogs running from behind our house and past it, our dogs doing their best but they were outnumbered. One kitten was snatched and killed, the other was missing for a while but I saw her up a tree. I climbed to get her down but she scampered down and off, who knows where. I will just have to be patient and hope she comes back.

RIP Tippy.

There are a lot of abandoned dogs in the campo.

I am sorry to hear about both your chicken and your kitten.

Sun, 29 Sep 2019 06:27:45 -0400

Oh, I accidentally deleted the comment. In Spain it is very common the abandonment and mistreatment of animals. It is still frequent the hanging of dogs. Many hunters kill them when they lose their sense of smell...

I'm sorry for your loss. During your previous loss, an owl or ferret take two of my caesars (Domestic guineafowl). I didn't even have feathers left, i didn't see how it happen.

I love having chickens. I love my chickens. They have a wonderful, largely care-free existence. They have a group of dogs who take on responsibility for guarding them.

Today I did a terrible thing. I accidentally killed one. Shutting up the shed after last #egg check of the day, I swung the heavy wooden door shut just as one of the girls stuck her head out -- crushed her skull.

Instantaneous, nothing I could do. Still wept for half an hour. Thank you lovely for your contribution -- hope you had a good life -- I'm sorry.

Related: My least favourite responsibility as a land steward is dealing with mortally wounded and obviously suffering animals; which has been thrust on me a number of times now. Whether it is a chook. a wild rabbit, or a rat makes no difference.

Sun, 29 Sep 2019 17:01:29 -0400

I have no love for pigeons. But one day as I headed down the street in my car, one didn't get out of the way and I ran over it. I could hear the little bones crunch. I felt badly, for it too was one of God's creatures.
