Cats and kittens and pictures and things...

The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter,
It isn't just one of your holiday games;

You may remember my discussing, a while ago, the difficulties of picking names for cats.

( You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter... )

Oh, and some more pics.

In final news, I also heard back from one of the conservator courses I'm applying for. They are being deeply helpful and deeply nice and would like to see my portfolio.

My what?

Yes. My portfolio. They need evidence of manual dexterity. Apparently a book of sketches will do. One panicked conversation with Sarah later, I discover that in fact I don't need anything dramatic - a couple of stage set designs, some watercolours (which I can do) and some copies of other paintings will do. However, I need to get that done, so I shall be visiting an art shop and rediscovering my inner artiste in the very near future.

I've got til December, so I'm figuring that it'll at least give me something cool to do in my spare time over the next couple of months. If anyone has cool ideas of things which could prove manual dexterity that I could do without needing massive amounts of artistic talent (which I don't have to prove), then feel free to let me know.

Ideas?
