I was living in Blackpool when you did the signing at the Virgin Store, then gig at the Tower Ballroom. Loudest gig I’ve been to that, my ears were ringing for days.

On *this* particular occasion, her weeping properly upset me. Then the groomer sent this photo of Leela living her best life.

I adore this single brain-celled life-form.

One year ago today, a little kitten turned up. I wasn’t a cat person, but told that fluffy little croissant that I’d keep her safe until the nice lady from the rescue could take her the next day. Anyway, she now owns my manly man-cave and gives me regular bitch-slaps. Love you Agatha!🥰

THAT MORNING:-I’ll keep you safe, little kitty in a cage. Don’t get comfy though.

THAT NIGHT:- I would die for you, bitey ball of fluff. Your name is Agatha and I am essentially your slave.

I took a picture of the dog closest to me at that time, but I have two and don’t want to leave the other out.

My terrier tried to pinch a delicious M&S pretzel off the table when we first brought her home. *My* delicious M&S pretzel. I still bring it up six years later. This is Leela back then.
