I can't understand why the Oxford ladies would talk about their adventures at Versailles as they did; the notion that they thought it would give them credence at the university is an odd one. The cats of Turkey always make me think of one thing: do they fix them? And wouldn't it be neat finding a Roman statue while going about your daily work?...
ReplyDeleteIt's my understanding that there are groups in Turkey that get as many of the cats fixed as they can, and generally look after their welfare as much as is possible.
DeleteNice.
