Back in 2012 I was up in London for a couple of days and looked in on the Occupy London camp outside St. Paul’s Cathedral.

Husb and I have been playing around with some of my drawings of Sparta Puss. There are loads of them hanging around because she really likes posing for me. So Husb has been adding little captions. She is not amused 😀
