Not much to describe. Ancient & Irish, fascinated by the skipfire that is now UK politics. Like music (most kinds) & cooking. Also like a laugh, & try to pleasant when possible - but can get sweary when it's not.

With Wimbledon starting ... I'll never forget the fortnight during June/July 2019 when Eggnog decided to come and visit us every night to watch the tennis either on my chest or on the top of the sofa. She wasn't even our chicken at that point ... just chose to watch Wimbledon with us.
