I lost my lovely, cheeky cat, Blue yesterday - he died very suddenly just before dawn. Only eight years old. He'd even survived falling into the Thames one night as a kitten. A good companion.

A quick up-date. Nearly six weeks after I fell ill, and I’m still recovering. Short walks or bike rides are OK, but I’m getting lots of headaches too. I’m trying to do things in very short bursts - dipping into the non-loony end of Twitter is good therapy, I think.
