Mr Grim
On the way to school today I passed another dead turtle. The climb out of the big pond next to my house and down the grassy bank and fall onto the road where they get run over. Usually I just see black, turtle shaped figures on the road, but this one just had his shell cracked where a tyre had hit him I guess but aside from the he looked normal - only dead. It must be hard for wild animals here to live without encountering humans since we are bloody everywhere so I felt a bit sorry for them. Death has been the theme for this weekend. Everywhere I go it is written about, talked about and just plain there.

other than birds we don't really have much in the form of wild life roaming the streets. to see turtles everywhere would have been very odd at first - then to see dead ones all the time - would be hard.
(hug) from over here - you sound a little down :(
if you're home sick try looking at the sky and think that we (back home) can see that same sky - it may look a little different, but we're all under the same sky. so really you're not too far away. well that's what i do when i miss someone - i look at the sky. looking at the sky now for you mate!
