We're going away for Easter. However, we've left it late--we won't be able to get a cattery. Luckily, it's only for a few days, so we don't need a cat-sitter... but I don't trust Zoe not to eat all of her food straight away! So if we could get someone to come round Saturday and Sunday to check on her/refill her food and water/make sure her litter tray isn't a complete mess it would be great. So if any of you want to volunteer please do ;) we will pay travel costs to Zone 4 of course and we're within easy reach of the Northern Line and various buses.

Peter King is a congressman (member of the House), not a senator. Why do British newspapers seem to find it so difficult to distinguish between the two? Do they think that "Congressman" means any member of Congress, rather than just the House? And how does no one catch this? He would be referred to as Rep. King, and the details are easy enough to check. Plus, New York's senators are hardly obscure--they are Chuck Schumer and Hillary Clinton. (Both Democrats.) The Guardian made exactly the same error last year, too.

(I wrote in a correction, and told them about the Guardian's mistake; I thought the staff might find it amusing.)

just in time for Purim... the Jewish Aptitude Test!
