The art of not caring

The saga continues…
I received another call from one of the carers late last Friday night as a new friendly stray had shown up at her door. She was very hungry and only skin and bones under her matted coat.
I took her in for the weekend, until she would go to the vet for a healthcheck.
She had huge mats and dreadlocks, so I couldn’t help but naming her Rasta. She also had patches of hair missing from pulling at the mats as it must have been so itchy and irritating.I think the same when I see Donald Trump’s head. So the solution:
7/04/15
On Tuesday, she was at Sinead to be tested, spayed (she was already spayed), microchipped, vaccinated and … shaved.
7/04/15
It was so badly matted that we decided to give Rasta a full shave, so she would be more comfortable for the summer.Just did the same meself. And now, the face of gratitude:
8/04/15
Rasta came back to me and had to go in a cage in the study as the spare bedroom and bathroom are already occupied by Jane Eyre and Madame Irma.The names. The names.

Patience versus science
Bryan Davis of Lost Spirits Distillery outside his lab in Monterey, Ca. GABRIELA HASBUN/WIRED THE WHISKEY RENAISSANCE has the world clamoring for well-aged hooch, but the so-called brown spirits—whiskey, brandy, rum—have one widely-publicized problem. It takes time, and lots of it, to make them. Or at least to make them taste good.
The booze industry has been looking for shortcuts to the aging process virtually since its inception, ranging from dumping extra oak chips into barrels of whiskey to artificially heating and cooling them to rapidly simulate the passing of seasons. While some of these tools have had modest levels of success, many have been complete failures. In fact, even Jesus weighed in on the dangers of trying to hasten the processes of nature when he said, “No one puts new wine into old wineskins; or else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled, and the wineskins will be ruined.” (Luke 5:37)
If Bryan Davis has his way, that’s all about to be totally upended, sacrilege or not. Davis has come up with a method of producing spirits that taste like they’ve been aging in the barrel for 20 years, but his process only takes six days.

Terrifying warning from the Mail
We were the cotton-wool kids, cotton wool was all we did, now we never seem to cotton wool….anymorrrrrrrrre.
Now the the Mail Editorial: ‘Cotton-wool kids – at least they’re white’.

To be honest, it hasn’t been easy. There have been times when I’m kind of going ‘Jesus, I wish my wages from Musgraves were coming in’, but you just suck it up and go with it. The thing is, I love what I do. I love going into rehearsals, discovering my character, learning the lines and then being in front of the audience. It’s just the best feeling in the world.

Iraq has a higher life expectancy than certain parts of Glasgow, and probably a better standard of football. I often wonder if the real reason the royals holiday in Balmoral is so they can use Scottish staff to teach their children about mortality, in the same way that you or I would let them have a hamster. “I’m afraid Old Jock’s dead son, but he was 35 … in Scottish years that’s two World Cup qualifications …”
