Split-second decision...



A split-second decision and you're ridiculed in cyberspace! I was running around the supermarket 10 minutes before it closed, dry-cleaning in one hand and shopping basket in the other, looking for cat food and finally having found the aisle, made the split-second decision to buy organic. I'm not ashamed, check out this link: http://www.messybeast.com/cat-food-industry.htm



Apart from labouring under the terror of Jen's omnipresent blogging, Mae and I had another great Saturday (no pictures this time as it was a grey and rainy day in Dumfries). We stopped in at the environment fair where Jen was working on a stall for Shambellie House. Mae loved seeing mommy at work, making monsters out of scrap and drumming on junk ranging from old pipes to plastic oil drums. The best part for me was when she stopped to look at a table of animals skulls. The woman behind it held up a skull with antlers and asked what she thought it might be? "a deer", Mae answers. Then the woman holds up a rabbit skull, Mae looks puzzled, the woman asks " what has big teeth and might eat things in your garden?" Mae looks more puzzled, concentrates for a few moments, smiles and finally replies " an elephant?".

I absolutely support you Geoff. If you're organic only for the good of your own innards, that's a purely selfish stance. So, if you do care about the environment, even the cat food should be organic.
Your daughter obviously fancies living on a tea estate in India with elephants in the backyard.
Right, time for a bit of non-fairtrade, non-organic chocolate.

Your daughter is obviously playing her PSP too much, and not getting the decent education a 2 year old should have. Shame.
