You know I seriously question the validity of taking a 7 week holiday in the summer. All fine for those who can spend the majority of that time doing something useful like travelling exotic locales or something else which will use up the time. But for those of us with only a normal amount of cash to spend, SEVEN WEEKS IS TOO MUCH! Perhaps I am affected by the fact that I love my job and cannot wait to get back to it, but these holidays have been hard for me. Being single can't help much either I guess. Anyway, having spent the last three days in the house alone (mostly) I am on the verge it seems of utter insanity! I can't focus on any one task, I can't get myself motivated to do anything useful around the house, and my diet has gone to shit! Thank God my birthday is coming up this weekend or I might go totally spare! I think there's a lot be said for having more holidays spread throughout the year of much shorter duration. It's the way forward people!
Anyway, here is a wee cryptid:
The King Cheetah:
African folklore had long described a different variety of cheetah than the one scientists were familiar with. This cheetah was a giant, and it had a totally different pattern on its coat than normal cheetahs. Like most creatures described in folklore, the king cheetah was the object of much ridicule and there were virtually no serious efforts to find out if it really existed, even though skins with the king cheetah pattern were known to exist.
