		<title>Strawbale and cob</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Stumbled across this fabulous blog post rounding up a bunch of different straw bale and cob builds. Kim links to some blogs I&#8217;d not heard of before as well, so going to take a look at those! Well worth a visit.

		<title>First introduction to the Kitten Wheel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Grabbity and Sir Izacat Mewton came to live with us in August last year, at about 10 weeks old. They are siblings and incredibly affectionate. I don&#8217;t remember the last time I had two cats that were so keen on snuggling and sitting on my lap and being near me. Utterly adorable. 
Whilst we have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Experimenting with Kachingle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In April last year I wrote about a start-up called Kachingle for The Guardian. I explained Kachingle thusly:
After registering with Kachingle, users decide on a maximum monthly donation, currently set at $5 (£3.50). When they see something they like, they simply click on the Kachingle &#8220;medallion&#8221; to initiate a donation. Kachingle tracks their reading habits, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Arising from the ashes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Kits and Mortar has been very quiet, even possibly moribund, over the last year. If you can remember that far back, you&#8217;ll recall that I was suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome and had to dramatically cut back how much I was writing. It took a lot longer for me to get the CTS licked, although [...]]]></description>

Peter Hetherington on the rise of community-owned land &#124; Society &#124; The Guardian
Great piece on the way communities can band together not just to buy land but to develop it for the benefit of the locals, building affordable housing, schools and other facilities. If only planning would approve more schemes like these.

		<title>Playing with the rescue kitties</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been eager to go to my nearest cat shelter and volunteer to socialise with the cats there for months and months. The nearest one was closed for refurbishment for ages, but the recently reopened, so a friend and I went today to spend some time with the cats they have in care. We were [...]]]></description>

		<title>Games cats play: Fetch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was talking with a friend of mine the other day about the games that cats like to play, and she mentioned that her cat is showing signs of learning to play fetch. Fetch is a game that is primarily associated with dogs as it&#8217;s a game that they are taught in puppyhood. But a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is this a game-changing house?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Kevin and I were watching Grand Designs&#8217; Kent Eco Arch episode with a little bit more interest than usual because it was billed as a &#8220;sustainable&#8221; build. But what caught our eye wasn&#8217;t the green aspects (which were hardly discussed anyway), it was the amazing design. The most striking feature of this build was a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Training cats and ailuropolitics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The BBC has a piece on its website that purports to be about training cats, but in fact discusses nothing of the sort. It&#8217;s a two minute package which focuses mainly on cats being &#8220;mugged&#8221; with a brush as a pretense at grooming, and a discussion of trimming their claws (not declawing). Training strategies and [...]]]></description>
