本にできること
本を読むのは眠る前
今日も一日が終わったぁ～っと一番リラックスしている時。
集中力に欠ける母が自然に集中できて
お話の中に入って
主人公になったり、著者になった気分になります。
しかし３０分ももたず・・・爆睡。
今日読み終わったのは
昨年秋に亡くなられた佐野洋子さんの「シズコさん」。
「１００万回生きたねこ」の絵本で有名な方です。
佐野さんの母親に対する長年の嫌悪感が
シズコさん（母親）が施設に入所し認知症がすすんでようやく
とけていきます。
シズコさんが亡くなった時
佐野さんはすでに病におかされていました。
静かで、懐かしいそちら側に、私も行く。
ありがとう。
すぐ行くからね。
と最後は締めくくられています。
実家のシィちゃん（母のかあちゃん）に逢いたくなりました。
どうしても、犬や猫が登場する本に目がいってしまいます。
置き場所に困るので、
本は図書館で借りる事がほとんどです。
でも何度も借りて読む本は手元に置いておきたいので
お取り寄せする事にしています。
お取り寄せ予定の一冊が
稲葉真弓さんの「ミーのいない朝」
稲葉さんが小説家になる前から
２０年間
ミーという猫と二人で寄り添って暮らした日々が綴られています。
出逢った時、ミーちゃんはフェンスの網目にぶらさげられていました。
人間の虐待を受けた猫を飼う、
そんなところに共感を覚えたのかもかもしれません。
何度も読み返しています。
別れの場面は悲しく、せつないけれど
稲葉さんのミーちゃんに対する感謝の心がとても伝わってきます。
これもお取り寄せ予定
猫を飼っている方にはぜひおすすめが
南里秀子さんの本です。
「キャットシッター」サービスを考案した方で、
同居人を失った猫の為の受け入れ施設であり
猫を失った人の為の場所であり
猫を愛する人の為の場所
「猫の森」
を作ったりと
スンゴイ人なのです。
他にもたくさんの本が出版されていますが、
母が最初に図書館で見つけて読んだのがこの本でした。
「猫の森」を見学に行くのが老後の夢です。
震災の２週間程前
たまたま立ち寄った「稲むらの火の館」
は津波防災教育センターでもあると３月５日の記事に
書きました。
見学後、気になって
「犬と猫のための災害サバイバル」香取章子さん著
を読んで
防災グッズを点検。
この本で、阪神淡路大震災の時に結成された
「緊急時災害動物救援本部」の事を知りました。
まあるさんに２月１７日「家族同然の命」の記事
で頂いたコメントで
「犬も猫も”クレートトレーニング”と”社会化”が出来てるかどうかで
避難時の扱い良さや
その場で受けるストレスはうんと違ってくるようです。」
と教えて下さった事もあり
ウチの猫達が「ハウス」できるように練習したり。
悪戦苦闘してます・・・トホホ。
今日の朝日新聞の文芸時評に
「本にできること」とありました。
出版・文芸業界隈でもチャリティーが動き始め、
被災地の子どもたちに絵本を送る運動が
各地でスタートしているとのこと。
記事を書いている文芸評論家の斉藤さんは
「こんな時に本？」・・・と言われない？と気にしながら
少し気分を変えようよ。
復興への道は長いのだ。
現地にボランティアで入る人は
１冊でも本や雑誌を荷物にいれて行こう。
不安かる子ども達や高齢者のために読み聞かせをしよう。
被災地が少し落ち着いたら
小中学生は好きな本を持ち寄って、思いを託した手紙をはさみ
被災地や避難先の友達に届けよう。
と、元気をもらえるような本３点も紹介しています。
今、心にゆとりがない
何も考えられない
でもやらなければならない事がいっぱいある
そんな大変な状況だと思いますが
本が心の支えになること
音楽が心の支えになること
動物が心の支えになること
あると思います。
ほんの少しの時間でも
リラックスできる時に
いっぱい支えてもらいましょう。
被災した動物たちにも、みなさまのご協力をお願いいたします。
「緊急時災害動物救援本部」のＨＰです。
http://www.jpc.or.jp/saigai/index.html
被災動物支援のための物資の募集も始まりました。
http://www.jpc.or.jp/saigai/pc_shien.html
そして母のお気に入りに入れさせて頂いている
「はなれでひなたぼっこ」のまあるさん
http://maaru.ikora.tv/
「猫・夢空間 気ままなみーこ」のみーこさん
http://nekomiiko.ikora.tv/
お二人も支援の活動を始められています。
ワタシ達の仲間の事もヨロシクお願いします。

おはようございます。
救ってあげたいコがたくさんいるのに
無力な自分の経済力にうんざりしたり、果ては自己嫌悪。
そんな私が出来ることって何だろう、と考えます。
私のもとにいる猫たちの生を見届けてあげること。
これもひとつですね。
私がもっと財力を持ったら、、、、
（いつになるんだ？？？財力なしアラフォー女で）
猫ハウスを郊外に作りたいですね。
生まれや血筋なんてなーーんにも関係ない。
木登りしたり庭で駆けたりが出来る、そんな猫の楽園。
被災地へはおちついたら書籍を送ろうと思います。
本は素晴らしい心の糧、そして心の友になりますもの。

at 2011年03月30日 10:12Doctor Who is now considered a British Institute and has come a long way since it first aired on November 23rd 1963. The very first show saw the Doctor travel 100,00 years into the past to help some dim cavemen discover light. After 26 seasons and seven Doctors later the series came off our screens in 1989 much to the disappointment of the huge devoted fanbase. In 1996 an attempt was made to revive Doctor Who but it wasnt until June 2005 when it came back with a vengeance with Christopher Eccleston as the ninth Doctor that put the series back on the map as it were. It then went on for 5 years with David Tenant portraying the Doctor until 2010 when Matt Smith took over the role. Today it is still a great family show and has attracted many new fans.
If youre a new or old fan of the show there are Tours and museums you can go and see some of the locations and memorabilia of this classic show. The Doctor Who Tour of London will take you on over 15 locations from the show, some from the new series and some from old sites like the location of The Invasion and Resurrection of the Darleks. The tour also takes you to the TV museum in London where you will get to see some of the cosumes worn in the show and props used. Also you can buy gifts and memorabilia from the shop.
You will learn all about how the shows were made so the tour is also educational. If you want to take pictures of the locations thats not a problem. Remember the front door of 10 Downing Street in Aliens of London? Well you can get up and close to this and get your picture taken in front of the door. Rose Tyler fans will love the tour as you get to drop by her home in the show.
Why not go that extra mile and actually meet a Doctor Who star. Well this is possible with private or group tours. You will get the general tour but included will be a pre-arranged meeting or lunch with a celebrity from the show. This will obviously depend on availability of the celebrity and the cost will reflect the popularity of that celebrity.
There are tours in London and also Wales. The Wales tours take you to Cardiff where you will see lots of location which were featured in shows since 2005. You can leave from London or at Leigh Delamere services station on the M4. There is a Doctor Who exhibition in Cardiff which you get to see. At the end of the Doctor Who tour you get a souvenir group picture sent you by email which is a nice touch.
For seriously devoted Doctor Who fans there is a 3 day tour which takes you to all the locations in both London and Cardiff. You will see locations from the past 45 years as well as recent sites from the lasted Doctor Who series. Day one is based in London where you get to see 15 sites. Day two takes you to Cardiff where you get to mean the real life owner of the to see we have an Gothic property used as the location of the school in Human Nature. The final day is partly spent in Cardiff with a walking tour at Cardiff Bay, then you head back to London but a stop at Stonehenge to see the site of the Pandoica. Then its dinner at The Cloven Hoof pub in Devils End b efore you taken back to central London.
