We found a cat today. A black one.
My mum picked it up and brought it into the house.
We let it run around the house a bit and put some dog food down for it, because we don’t keep cats and don’t have cat food.
And then my mum rang the cat protection league and they refused to pick it up!
Surely their job is to pick cats up and make sure they’re ok and get rehomed and the woman on the phone simply said
“Oh I doubt it’s a homeless cat. We don’t get homeless cats in your area”
And im like… Um yeah you do. Theres one *points at the cat in my living room*
Stupid bint.
The poor kitty was really thin and manky lookin’. He was pretty of course but he looked all frail.
So we had no choice but to let him go.
Also… I found this site with tube gossip on it. It was on Version3point1’s blogroll and im in love with it. I’ve read all of 2005 so far. It has really stupid things in it that I would most likely find myself saying on the tube such as
“ Why is the paint never the same colour as on the tin? “
“Why is it called an Oyster card?”
“You’re a gynocologist? Hasn’t it put you off vaginas? “
Anyway. I love it.
ALSO. On a different, completely random topic I finished knitting my scarf
For some reason its a stupid size…but oh well

World book day – 2nd March
“World Book Day 2006 in the UK and Ireland will take place on Thursday 2nd March. It is a partnership of publishers, booksellers and interested parties who work together to promote books and reading for the personal enrichment and enjoyment of all.
A main aim of World Book Day is to encourage children to explore the pleasures of books and reading by providing them with the opportunity to have a book of their own.”
I find it disturbing that some children at school haven’t even read a book. I myself being a bookworm. How can one not enjoy snuggling up into a chair with some hot chocolate, reading the latest bestseller?
Children are missing a big oppurtunity I think. There is a book written for every type of personality. These stories allow children to enter a completely different world, full of such amazement and wonder, no matter what genre it is.
Spread the word
If you go into your nearest book store there are these little postcards, free of charge, that you can take. On the back you can write to a person reccomending a book to them. I think that everyone should do this and spread the word.

Start encouraging people to actually read. It appauls me when I learn that there might be a person in the world that has never read an entire book. Do something about it.
I mean, children in these schools are the future after all. I am all for playing computer games and going outside and getting drunk but when there is a child in a school incapable of reading a book I think it’s disgusting.
And if you’ve never read a book then you’d best start now!
