Frodo
I've never written a journal on the app before and I haven't been around here for ages and I don't have a subscription any more. But I wanted to update to say we had to say goodbye to our dear Frodo on Monday. He was ill with age and getting worse, no longer happy, almost no longer with us. So I cradled him in my arms and we took him to the vet's where a very gentle vet and nurse put him to sleep. It was very sad and there were many tears and I held him until we buried him under a tree we planted very recently in memory of my brother in law, who we lost suddenly last winter. He was wrapped in purple cloth and buried with an egg. As a kind of
It's Been A While...
It really has. I don't spend a lot of time on dA any more, and I regret that. I miss the community. I miss the contact. But still I don't spend much time on here. I don't take a lot of photos. I don't publish my writing on here because I want to save it for publication, but I don't seek publication either.

But I get a bit addicted to completing lists, and this is my progress so far.
First the 'The BBC thinks you will have only read six of these books' list. Bolded are read, italics are partly read, underli
A Tribute to Leonard Nimoy
“At the moment Leonard’s soul left him on Friday morning, his family had gathered around him in a ring of love. Leonard smiled, and then he was gone. It was gentle passing, as easy as a “hair being lifted from a cup of milk,” as the Talmud describes the moment of death. What did Leonard see? We can’t know, but Susan imagines that he beheld his beloved cocker spaniel Molly, an angelic presence in life and now in death.”
— Rabbi John L. Rosove
Perhaps I had to wait until I read this until I could write anything non-fictional. Having read Zachary Quinto's tribute, where he said he 'knew [Leonard] was v
