Sounds good to me. And I'd have been called one ofthose too, so...

As for the pic, other than photobucket misbehaving, it's a lovely photo CM.

She is a smaller, lighter framed cat. But not as big a difference as the pic looks.

Re: Quizzy-Wizzy Wednesday 12 January


[quote=angieh;630640]Yes a Lepidopterist. There's an event at RHS Wisley coming up which I hope to go to. Butterflies flying around in the tropical greenhouse and people walking around with the butterflies. It would have been a very beautiful career, Eileen.

Now here's another clue you are all going to hate. Please just keep to the tomatoes and save the rotten eggs until I've gone!!!!

Q8. What turned out to be a Boojum?[

they have a butterfly house at melbourne zoo! i was there in april, the butterfly's would land anywhere on you and you had to be inspected before you left incase any got out!
