A Successful Fundraising Month
March has been a great month with 480€ raised to help more of our stray cats and dogs. This all started on March 6th with a good book-sale and then our first poker run in the evening, which Jan and Ingegerd Ljung (pictured with me) won by pulling out a total of 3 aces!
AlStrays Book Sale
A slightly quieter book sale today as there definitely seemed to be less people around the port. We did however still raise 120€ for the strays fund, which will cover the costs of re-homing 1.5 cats, OR castrating 4 feral cats, so it was a well spent few hours.

Plan For This Week
UPDATE: 22/04/09 17:00
Great news! Tommy now has a foster home with Nicola and Erika and is out of his cage and enjoying a nice meaty meal. Now I just hope he settles into apartment life as he has been a street cat for several years. Being FIV positive, the outdoor life is not longer an option for him. If things are looking good he will …

In Praise Of Twitter!
I, like India Knight, the Sunday Times columnist, am now a convert to Twitter! For those who ‘know nothing’ about it, Twitter is an online networking website that allows you to send basically one-line snippets out into the ether about what you are up to, or thinking, at any particular moment.
To begin with I was very skeptical and uninterested in this concept; I didn’t particularly …
