La femme serait vraiment l'égale de l'homme le jour où, à un poste important, on désignerait une femme incompétente. ~= Women will be truly equal to men the day an incompetent woman is given a high-level job.

We brought Maya home from the local SPA (French equivalent of the RSPCA, Société Protectrice des Animaux) after a long time trying to decide which cat to adopt. The only criteria we had were for a sterilised female, because our other cat is male – wanted to keep a good yin/yang balance.
While we were there, we were disgusted to see a couple leave when they were told there was a contribution to be made on adoption. They thought animals would just be free, failing to make the link that contributing to the upkeep of the animal shelter is important, as is the financial token that the adopters will be responsible with the animal they adopt.
So far she has adapted well to her new life, and is getting on well with everyone.

Nathan and Liam spent a while dotting paint on their pad from felt pens that paint rather than draw. Mostly they’re good for making big splodges though. Good to catch up with friends and see the kids playing together. 2010 has started quite well for catching up with people.
