My pretty Cat Swarovsky

Sunday, 21 February 2010

This is my cat. I remember so well the first time I saw him. He was only one week old, was a small, little ball of fur and very dear. With much effort I convinced my parents to take him home but it wasn' t easy. Nevertheless, I managed to do it. The first night I had to sleep with him because he was sick, almost dying. He didn't eat anything, but with love and affection he was better. Now there are specific times, and at midnight and noon, when he runs around the house without stopping and destroys everything! We like to play with him because he is very playful! Last year my dearest cat broke a leg while playing, and he had an operatation, it was very sad and he was very sensitive, but now he is strong again. The veterinary loved Swarovsky immediately because he's very powerful and at last I leave you with his beautiful name “Farisca Minguinhos Swarovsky"

Scotland Yard by Hugo

Did you know?

Scotland Yard (also known as New Scotland Yard, or Yard) is the headquarters of the London Metropolitan Police (Metropolitan Police Service).

The name derives from its former location on Great Scotland Yard, a street located in Whitehall. The exact origin of the name is unknown, but according to one hypothesis, the site was the diplomatic mission of the kings of Scotland before the Union of 1707 between England and Scotland. Another possibility is that during the Middle Ages, the site belonged to a man named Scott,or maybe stagecoaches departed to Scotland from this street.

As it is most often heard in the movies and series it is good to know a little bit about it!
