Artwork: Superstitions by Adina Theo
Is it bad luck to disturb a young black cat nibbling on crisps from an opened bag in the middle of the street?
As I approached it it grabbed a crisp in its mouth and dashed under a nearby parked car. I wished I had my camera.
Overnight the blog was overwhelmed by loads of spam, and I don’t know why the spam filter didn’t detect it all. I’ve removed it all now, but in response I’ve made a slight change to my commenting policy. Basically new commenters will have their first comment moderated by me before it will show up. I’m online a lot so it shouldn’t take more than a few hours or so to be approved.
If this proves unpopular or impractical I may opt for a captcha plugin, but I’d rather not as I hate using them on other blogs.
Let me know what you think.
Update: I’m trying something else, a system which should block the majority of spammers. So there’s now no excuse for anyone not to comment. 
I haven’t written a post here for just over a week. I’ll talk about my blogging block later, but for now I thought it would be fun to steal a meme called My Mosaic from J.D.’s blog.

I remembered, then I forgot. (And if I forget, who else would remember?)
Last Friday was this blog’s second birthday.
Leaving things so late I could only get a birthday cake which had originally been made for someone called Lila. It was the only cake that the shop had when I visited today.
I don’t think that Blog will mind since Blog likes cow print. Blog would have preferred a deeper shade of pink, but Blog will eat pink bits first. Blog would like to offer you all a slice of cake.
I’d love a back massage right now, my body is aching from hoovering the entire house after a long day at work. Of course I should have done it yesterday when I had the day off work, but of course I am Queen Procrastinator and I couldn’t summon the strength to do it at that time.
My bedroom is a tip, well my bed is anyway. I put loads of junk on it to force myself to organise it (i.e. hide it all in the bottom of the wardrobe) for the party tomorrow.
My cousin, M, sent me a text message saying that he’s looking forward to all the good food that’s going to be on offer. I’m glad that he’s coming, as he’s a very cool dude and an ally.
