This morning I dug a hole for Sunshine. It has become obvious that he will die soon. The cancer has started to prevent him eating, and he has become listless and seemingly too tired to care much about doing anything.

Irma suggested that I make a suitable hole before the ground freezes qand it becomes impossible. Having done that I went for a walk and then worked on the Snowcastle Valley website.

As evening closes in we head to Itis to buy some beads for Kerala. This seems sensible at the time. I look at the winter decorations lighting up the mall and learn that Burger King have introduced the almost-vegan Rebel Whopper across Europe this week.

We head back through the darkness to home.
