Today, I can only offer you small bits and pieces of woe since I am ill, which is both wretched and dull.
1. Morose Frog Baby wants you to know that he also knows suffering:
2. George the Cat padded into the house from the garden, carrying a largish dead bird by its head all ‘Look at [...]
I wish I had known a year ago how happy I would end up being, or how much I would enjoy this boy.
When he was born I thought he looked like a spaceman, someone who has come on a long journey and from far away. He had deep-space eyes. Undersea eyes. Dark grey and liquid [...]
