ddickinson: That's okay, it's not for everyone. I have seen many people attempt it and just walk away. It's not as messy as people think, the blood is usually drained first (I won't tell you how, in case it's too much detail), so it's not like you are just cutting open a fresh animal. Some still do it while there is blood, but that is just so messy. The important thing is to make sure the animal did not suffer. Sadly some religions allow the animals to suffer greatly while getting slaughtered, but luckily that is illegal in the UK (they are forced to at least stun the animals first, so they won't feel any pain).
I would not have had a problem with you telling the details. There was never anything I read that I could not handle. Seeing it for real might be different ;-) But yeah, I can agree with you, that it is important that the animals do not suffer.

ddickinson: Good morning!
I am usually quite busy this time of year, spring is the end of the winder crops and the start of the summer crops, as well as lots of other things that seem to happen around spring/summer, such as lambing and things like that. It should be okay in a few weeks, hopefully then I can get some more rest.
I hope you have a nice time with your friend, and it sounds great to go visit your grandmother, especially if you have not seen her for a while. Are you all ready for your trip to England? I know I have asked this before, and sorry for forgetting, but what play will you be seeing at the Globe Theatre?
I can imagine spring is the busiest time of year! Good luck with all the work you still have to do, I hope it will all turn out good.

Thank you! And no, I'm not completely ready yet, but I'm making preparations. Still need to exchange my money this week and so. And I still don't know all the details of the boat trip there and back because my professor is a tad lazy. :P
We'll be seeing As You Like It. I saw a Dutch production of it a few months back and that was really good, so I'm curious about this one as well. :)

FearfulSymmetry: No, I guess it'll take a while, I'm not completely used to it yet either. But I wanted a change from Rosangela for a bit. :) I'm doing quite well, just got up, took a shower and had breakfast. Later today I have a yoga class and a university lecture, and then I'll have dinner with a friend and go see a movie. :)
That sounds like a good plan :). What movie is it this time, if i may ask?ddickinson

The UK actually has one of the best records for animal welfare, and the law is firmly in place to enforce that animals are cared for and not in any pain, which is the least we could do, considering we intend to eat them. The EU is not so keen, as many places in the EU do not match this, and they (the EU) are often introducing legislation that would undermine British farming, but luckily so far the British government fights against this and try to protect Britain's interests. Not always successfully, sadly, but they try. Maybe if we end up leaving the EU things can bet a little better without all the ridiculous laws and regulations the EU forces on people (not just for agriculture, but all over the place, EU law is actually quite horrible, and in many cases they are corrupt and/or Draconian). Not to mention the amount of money the UK would save by not having to pay into the EU.

Well I hope you are treated nicely and that you have a good time. The last time I went to the Globe it was very good, but it can vary depending on the actors. I thought it was As You Like It, but I was not sure. I kept thinking of the "All the world's a stage" part when I was thinking what you were seeing.

The EU are actually mad that England recently relaxed all the laws about how vegetables can look. To much was being wasted becasue it did not match the EU's "what vegetables should look like rule". A carrot is still a carrot no matter how it looks. Even supermarkets here now are selling non-standard vegetables, as people are realising there is no difference, it all tastes the same. The non-standard shaped vegetables are often slightly cheaper, but it is still a good plus to the farmers.
