This is the Ruthven Lane Cat in the west end of Glasgow. It's high on a wall on the back of an old tenement building, and it really doesn't look like it belongs there. It's a bit of a mystery as to who put it there, and why.

Thought you all might enjoy this today.

By Eugene Boisvert

The dream of an Italian fisherman to pay tribute to the women of the South Australian town of Southend has come true with a mosaic monument recognising their role in the town's history.

All along the waterfront are 23 quotes from writers of all types, poets, novelists, and playwrights, placed on contemporary concrete plaques or inlaid metal text on wooden 'benchmarks'.

My favourite is:
"It’s true you can’t live here by chance,
you have to do and be, not simply watch or even describe. This is the city of action, the world headquarters of the verb"

This is not that.

C'est l'heure de la toilette ! Ils sont en train de monter un échafaudage tout autour de la statue de Leifur Eriksson, le navigateur viking qui a découvert l'Amérique 500 ans avant Christophe Colomb.
