In which there are cats, bobcats, ladybirds, and libraries
- Those ladybird cybermats get everywhere. I'm beseiged! The harlequin ladybirds have awoken en masse from their hibernation, by the dozen in my window frames, at the exact moment the weather has turned wet and windy enough to shoo them inwards instead of outwards, boo.
- Remember that xkcd comic about mailing bobcats to random ebay buyers? Don't do that irl because it's illegal to post live mammals and the cat doesn't appreciate it, srsly. o_O P.S. Cat on a rocking horse, 2min utu (the best bit is in the middle when they pull the camera back).
- Reading, books 2016, 44.
42. I Thought I Heard A Rustling, by Alan Plater, is a 1991 four-hand play about the importance of libraries... or the importance of access to information and individual self-expression... or the importance of Art, Beauty, and Truth. One of those. It's also funny, because Plater. And some of the stage directions are delightfully phrased. (5/5)
• On catching a plagiarist...
Ellen: And there's a poem by Roger McGough, translated from Liverpool into Geordie...
Bill: Yes, I tried to improve it a bit.
• On a branch library...
Bill: I mean, the public isn't exactly flocking in. There's no mad rush of people wanting to improve their minds. Look at it. It's like a street in Sunderland when the pubs are open.
- Oops....
