Anglo-Burmese. Parent of two daughters & Mika, the cat. I write for a living, mainly about education. Am also writing a book & dabble in poetry. Trying to get my shit together as I deal with invisible disabilities & the daily grind.

Thank you - it’s amazing what the right lighting can do as I am no way photogenic! You’re certainly well travelled around the UK. Ever thought about visiting Wales?!

That’s very true. Is Scotland where you originate from? I’ve always wanted to go, I’ve got friends up there, but never quite got around to it.

A lot of Hackney has become gentrified, over the years, as I’m sure you’re aware. Where’s your favourite spot in London?

Nowhere near Chiswick, which is a lot more affluent. That’s quite a journey for you.
Yes, “Demon” is apt. I might as well get up and do something productive. The cat’s awake now. My fault.

London… Insomnia isn’t the best companion to have. Actually “companion” is too nice a word!

I’m OK, thanks. I live in England. Struggling to sleep, so I’ve given up trying. Think I’m going to read for a while.

Thank you - we had to pay for all of her meds out of pocket as insurance didn’t cover it. Defo wasn’t easy, but couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t try xxx

Thank you xxx She’s a diva. Known as Sassy Pants at her vets. Love her to bits. She nearly died from FIP when she was a kitten, so she’s extra special to us xxx

It’s a wonderful piece as is, I reckon. Speaks volumes, even more so knowing its back story. All I’d say is go with your feelings when it comes to doing anything else to it. Also, sorry for your loss xxx
