What the Internet is for!

Kittens, right?  These two furry boys will be coming to live with us in a few weeks - the gray tabby one's Mal (we think), and the brown tabby one's Toby (probably), and they and their 4 brothers and sister have been rescued and hand reared by the inimitable Patricia.  Can I stop grinning?  I can not.  Will these be the last kitten photos to be seen on this blog?  Well ...    

Introducing ...

... the very new, very gorgeous Silver Skin website!  If I knew how to do a screen grab I'd show you the front page (but hey, even knowing the words "screen grab" is pretty good going for me.)  So click here and have a look for yourself at the work of Jamie Heitler aka the Coding God.*  

* Never mind that the learning curve required crampons at various points along the way - a bona fide CG now he is!


(I'm also over on An Awfully Big Blog Adventure posting about Daniel Pennac's The Rights of the Reader - come on by!)

(And if you can bear any more wittering about Silver Skin, I'm over on The History Girls, looking for a word to describe a very particular anxiety.)
