Daisy is all growed up this morning.
I was sat in bed drinking my cup of tea when I heard the unmistakable sounds of scampering at the top of the stairs. I went to investigate and saw a trail of feathers leading up the stairs and into the study, where Daisy was happily batting the corpse of a small bird around the room with some gusto. I picked up the creature to dispose of it, and Daisy looked up at me with a feather sticking out of the corner of her mouth. I think the local wildlife is in for a spot of evolutionary darwinism in the near future.
In other cat news, Doris is becoming increasingly food obsessed. She is omnipresent at meal times, watching the food on the plates with a gimlet eye. We can't leave any sort of food on the side in the kitchen, because she will nab it. The other day she managed to get a wedge of fruitcake from the top of the bread bin, get it out of its wrapping paper and clingfilm and nibble a chunk out of it. I've even caught her in the dishwasher licking the plates after we've had fish and chips!
What else?
We had the annual call from the Jehovah's Witnesses this morning, and I spent half an hour telling them how cruel their god was, how their bible was a self contradictory mess, and how ignorant they were of science and the world around them. I nearly told one of them to f- off when I was explaining evolutionary biology to them and he said "Are you saying we've evolved from monkeys?". The best bit was that I was wearing my RichardDawkins.net scarlet A tee-shirt today ... :-)
For anyone that loves a bit of irony, this is what happened when the science blogger PZ Myers tried to get in to see the creationist movie 'Expelled'. Enjoy!
