the british library
if you are in london and want to see some fantastic things for free then go to the british library. it's about 2 minutes walk from Kings Cross / St Pancras Station and 5 minutes from Euston.
Original shakespeares, da vinci notebooks, the magna carta, the original handwritten Alice In Wonderland, original Beatle lyrics etc. All to see and enjoy. and there's some impressive bookshelves too.
there is even a section on stamps which got me thinking. you can stick a stamp on nearly anything and it will travel to nearly anywhere in the world. that's why we have the phrase "philately will get you everywhere". i think

this has nothing to do with this post... but i was wondering if i have totally missed what happened to the hairy growing cat?
the hairy growing cat still sits and looks at me. perhaps today is the day to chop it up and extract the mouse ?
is it still growing???
no, it's stopped (as far as i can tell).
but i haven't got the heart to hack it apart. or a sharp enough knife.
have you tried washing with it? does it get all sudsy? perhaps it would be less cruel to wash it than simply hack it to bits. and, maybe, the hair will save you from needing a washcloth or scrubby (if it does, then that cat is truly a wise invention).
