Waiting for a Ryanair flight can feel pretty soulless.

A Cat may look at a Crucifix

A Cat may look at a Crucifix, originally uploaded by rodillagrande.

I pass this house on my way to the train station. Through their front window you can see parts of their collection of religous statues. And one day there was a cat.

I posted this photo on flickr and got the following wonderful comment from dr_loplop.

It hadn't really occurred to me before seeing this photo that Christianity and cats don't really mix.

I just did a search to see if the Bible mentioned cats (apparently it doesn't) and found this page in a big red font about why cats are the pet of the devil.

I wouldn't recommend it as bedtime reading, but the following passage made me laugh:

Additionally, cats practice many unclean habits not befitting a Christian household: coughing up fur balls, licking inappropriate body areas on their own bodies (inappropriate handling) and even, in some cases, on the bodies of their human owners (wrongful motive?), urination on the floor, vocal and blatant promiscuity (unknown to any other species, all others being endowed with Godly chastity and decorum) and widespread sexual misconduct without the benefit or sanctity of holy matrimony, even orgiastic practices, substance abuse of catnip (an intoxicating herb) which produces conditions akin to drunkenness, stealing food from the table, producing ungodly sounds, excessive playfulness and the employment of devices not known to have been used by Jesus, the conducting of its unholy business under the cover of the darkness of night, and so on.

And so on?!?

I messed around with this quite a lot in photoshop. I'm quite happy with the result but it is a bit over softened.

One of my favourite dinners. Roast tomatoes with some olive oil. Add roast tomatoes and their juices to some hot pasta. Season with salt and pepper. Eat.

This is definitely my favourite place in Cambridge. I have taken more photographs of this hall leading to the Bridge of Sighs than anywhere else.

I've been to see Dreamspace in Cambridge and Mile End. A wonderful piece of art that you can walk around inside. The light coming from outside through the coloured ceiling and walls is incredible.

The structure on the outside of the bridge is painted red. On a warm evening the colour glows through the grimey windows.
