9°C, Showers, quite heavy too

Appetite- Constantly hungry today, all those trips to the canteen, raiding my locker (it was full of food). But still hungry. Am I pregnant? Can't be! But Matt suggested a possible- it's the colder weather. Has my metabolism increased to create more warmth?

Douglass Adams: in the book "Last Chance To See"... this guy has a very powerful way of writing that combines wit, human vulnerability and above all- protest.
Concerning the slaughter of a goat for the sake of filming Komodo dragons:

"The great thing about being the only species that makes the distinction between right and wrong is that we can make up the rules for ourselves as we go along."

There is stuff like this throughout the book. He can't resist anthropomorphising animals and situations with sensitivity but not with excessive sentimentality. I have only read his fiction stuff before, this is so fresh.
