Keeping everything crossed that Big Ginge is going to move in next door! This would be the perfect storyline...
we've been giving big ginger a bowl of kibble every now and then, Ozzy's owner got him an outdoor cabin and has been giving him feeds as well, and now our neighbour messaged us asking if he was ours as he was staring them out through their double glazed door and it looks like they might take him on!

There’s not a day goes past that I don’t miss Tony Bourdain, great man, great friend, great writer. Nothing can make up for the loss of him, of course, but it’s wonderful to hear his voice live from the page in the compellingly brilliant Anthony Bourdain Reader edited by Kim Witherspoon.

Warren (l) and Shirley (r) really do love each other, it’s so cute to see. Her permanently worried (or is it judgemental?) expression kills me.

Fascinating little tour of my neighbourhood, including the tremendous Tin Tabernacle, Orwell and my local pub, HG Wells, AA Milne, Highlander, the Kilburn State - and our flat even features in the background at one point: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkGU...

We’ve taught Warren to fetch. He absolutely loves it and is obsessed with rolled up paper balls - he drops them at out feet now when he wants to play.

I’m trying to work. This is what is currently the other side of my laptop - Shirley is being very needy and is not allowed on my work desk, so is trying to claw my make up bag off the table.

Threw away a one nil lead to come away with a draw - should have got Kelly on after half time - but still, great to be back at the Emirates, AND bumped into my dear friend Katia on the Tube home. Literally sat opposite me. Pretty impressive in a city of 9.84m people…

This is such a wonderful, honest and heartfelt piece from @theguyliner.bsky.social. I lost my childhood best friend when we were 15, and I still think about her. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
