That's good, C. I agree about people vs beasties.
But:
Betty is a kind, gentle and polite pony who was rescued by the RSPCA from someone who wasn’t looking after her properly
Are you sure this person who was mistreating the poor thing wasn't the Demon of Plague? You know, perhaps she got miffed with him sneezing over her all the time.
I'm glad you look after the foxes like the glw and I do. When we were living in Streatham, our garden backed onto some car garages. There had been a giant tree that covered the garage roofs, but that came down one day. The tree covering meant that grass grew on the roofs and when the tree went, we could see that was where the foxes' den was.
One winter, there was fresh snow. And the vixen and two cubs came out as I was looking out of the window. Seeing those little bundles of brown and orange joy all roll and snuggle together in the white virgin snow was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.
But promise me, C. If a large chap in a black cape with a scythe turns up demanding his horsey back, please don't put up a fight. We'd hate to lose you in that manner.
No more parasitic than the average Tory, B.
And the bats' aids wouldn't have been an issue if Johnny Chink hadn't been mistreating them and the pangolins. It's therefore all the fault of the Tibet-invading fascists. The beasties are innocent. C, BB and I are right. Beasties are better than Chinks.
Actually, you're right about swans, LA.
One festie in France, we went off to a lake and did loads of acid. There were ducks and geese and a couple of swans. They look lovely, the swans, but they're just like raggas.
They just glided across the lake and whenever they saw a duck or goose nearby, they went after it and tried to mug it. Vicious båstards, imo.
