Doris on International Cat Day. What she lacks in dignity she makes up for with chutzpah.

A gorgeous chunky black cat, lying on her back ready to be painted like one if your French girls.

What’s your sign?

A bannister with the words - Don’t lean on me. I am not stable.

I love this cat. but I promise when she dies I won’t post about it on here. I will just wear black for six months and post pictures of my streaky mascara. Life is bleak enough without having to read about every grief stricken pet owner.

Doris, my beautiful black cat. She is lying on her side having just captured a hair bobble that she is wearing as a bangle.

Back when Phil Collins was Marilyn’s security

Me, last night.

Me in red dress and boots with a mic in hand, amusing the Sheffield crowd.

Same from a different angle. I look a bit like I’m directing traffic.

A rather unflattering, eyeless photograph of me trying out some bilingual comedy.

Me on stage, wearing a red dress over black jeans and red boots. The camera has caught me mid-blink. It does not look good.

Just walking along Fallowfield Loop to take my mind off the state of the world.

Street Art. Top Section says Free Gaza. Bottom section is a cartoon that has two people talking: Box 1 - Green person to pink person: How are you? Pink Person: I'm trapped in a capitalist hellscape built on greed and exploitation. Box 2 - Green Person: I meant in general... Pink Person: Oh, yeah, chillin'

Apparently Dick Van Dyke is going to be a … Centaur. How my mind filled in the blank. Happy birthday to the man with two innuendos for the price of one.
