I was walking down by the Ashley River, in Summerville yesterday lunchtime. While walking along a boardwalk over a swampy area, movement below caught my eye. Looking down into the muddy river bank at low tide, I saw thousands of these little crabs.
It’s like there’s a whole community going on right under our noses, and most of us don’t even realize!

I had a rummage around in the kitchen around lunchtime, trying to think of what to make for dinner. I’m a big fan of decent fresh food, and as I was going to be working most of the afternoon, I decided to do something that, once prepared, needs little attendance – a beef stew in the crockpot.
I diced up some chuck, also some potatoes, carrots, rutabaga and onion, and put it in the pot. On top of that went a half pint of beer, some chopped garlic, herbs, and some season salt.
On went the lid, and on went the switch, and that’s it, except for a cursory eye, and perhaps a stir later. Dinner is around 8pm.
