Trying hard not to get bitten here but my mosquito net seems defective as it has let a big pest get into my bed 😆 #Nicky

Harry followed me to the local shops today and walked to heel like an obedience champion. He’s not really eating and is very skinny … the vet thought he was ok but I’m getting worried. He only accepts sardines, hotdogs and peanut butter … #DogAdvice please 🙏

In case you didn’t know 9-25 is Dolly Parton Day. Be like Dolly
Country music and the entire world will never be the same without Dolly.
So the only way forward is to be more like Dolly.
Be kind to your neighbor.
Do good in the world.
Help others.
Spread a little more love.
Be like Dolly.

It’s World Gratitude Day, so I’m going to thank Jemima who donated her stem cells to treat my blood cancer, and then two years later, her lymphocyte cells to rescue me from relapse into leukaemia. Without her, I almost certainly wouldn’t be here today.

Did my #GetTheFckOutside and used a day off work to visit the most famous tourist attraction in Brazzaville … St Anne’s Basillica. Is is just me or does the architecture give off a rather gynaecological vibe. 😳 but it was lovely cool and quiet in the heart of the city.
