cat videos


Today was the day that Gramsci discovered the delights of cat videos.  We've always suspected that he didn't have very good recognition skills when it comes to what's on a screen - if I'm Skyping in from England, say, he apparently couldn't care less.  But show him birds ... he was hooked.   This was, it would seem, a British woodland video (all eight hours of it!  we only watched five minutes or so together) - judging by the adorable coal tits and robins and finches and blue jays and crows going cark cark cark in the background (of course I felt nostalgic: not sure that Gramsci recognized this as his heritage?).  I can understand why he found it so compelling ...

    Oh Gramsci! Will we need to talk about limiting your screen time? And what IS Gramsci's heritage, because his fans are curious to know!
