Little man, you've had a destructive day

2009-01-27T04:17:01Z

James thought he was on to a good thing - combining two of his passions (telephone cable and the cat), and discovering sophisticated tool use all in one go. The cat is a fickle creature, and she has lost interest in being fished for already. Time ...

Blogging in the New Year

2008-12-31T02:23:10Z
