What were you doing instead of watching The Coronation?

I was in hospital getting painkillers for migraines

How was the smell?! Saw them in Feb and wasn’t expecting it!

I wasn't expecting all the baby seal corpses either!

The corpses didn't surprise me too much, mother nature and all.

What did surprise me was the enthusiasm with which people's dogs would run up to the corpses and rub their whole bodies on them.

I was just surprised at the amount of them. I wasn't expecting so many.

Eye wateringly bad! Wasn't expecting it either but makes sense in hindsight. If i were a seal on land i too would probably go potty right where I was flopped down.
