Me …

Because it saves me having to kill people myself …

A lot …

• I’m on a mission to make the perfect poached egg.

See here, and here …

The one-eyed Spencer.

Bless him …

The evil Wally Walnut.

Never, ever, look him in the eye. Fortunately he’s asleep here …

And, the illusive Pickles.

Who is a bit fat and doesn’t really like her photo taken. As you can see from this rare photograph, she’s also as black as coal.

We also have a step cat.

Jack.

The contortionist.

• I sometimes employ lost souls to help with the chores. (Always legal, of course).

Here’s George tending the jalapenos in better days.

And, here, in not so good times.

You can read about his sorry story – here.

I might have some today :)

A lot. Read about this particular injury – here.

• I like to write.

• I drink a lot of tea.

This is pretty hit and miss as actually getting to the treadmill is a psychological nightmare.

• Oh, and I look remarkably like Isabella Rossellini

Only I don’t smoke.
