Sharks are amazing creatures. By some strange stroke of luck I spent NYE in
Brighton Sealife Centre at a music promoter's party. Ruth and I spent most
of the evening curled up under the tunnel that runs through an enormous
shark tank, watching a large number of sharks, a couple of rays, and an
absolutely huge turtle swimming above our heads.
