A selfie of me. I’m sitting on a wooden floor with a very fluffy golden haired dog between my legs. I’m looking down at him, and I’m wearing a multicoloured knitted sweater and glasses. Behind me is a door; at the left side of the image is a wooden coffee table with books and papers on.

A selfie of me, a close-up of my face as I sit in a car, looking out of the window. I wear glasses, a red suit, and my hair is short and curly.

A selfie of me: I sit in an orange armchair in a cafe, looking up towards a curious black and white hairless cat. I'm holding up my cane, and the cat is playing with it.
