Mostly topical comedy may contain traces of animal whimsy

On Sunday, Kevin and I had another look at the papers in, er, John and Kevins Sunday Papers ; and tried to settle the equally vexed questions of who will win the next election; and why weve been invited to a club by some beagle puppies in frog hats.
And on Friday, I was on The Now Show, talking mostly about scorpions, but also a bit about Vince Cable and the Royal Mail. You can listen to the whole show on iPlayer here for the next five or six days (and you should; it was a good one).

Lastly, if, for reasons best known to yourself, youd like to own a drawing by me of a seventeenth century philanthropist and his cuddly rabbit, then your luck is in - the Thomas Coram card from the post below is currently being auctioned on eBay. (Incidentally, if you win it, and youd like me to sign it specifically to you (or someone else), Ill be very happy to do so.)

Mostly fluffy stuff

I thought it might be fun to do a post of all the pets that I would love to have!

Now, I LOVE animals, all animals, but there are a certain select group that I would put in my own personal zoo. In my bedroom. I would get a quadruple King Size bed and cuddle with all of them at night, and they would be my best friends :) Besides that, there are many, many animals out there that need rescuing. Not just cats and dogs! Maybe some day Ill be able to give some of these guys a loving home.












If we ever get into our own house, at least two of these animals will be MINE! For now, Ill stick with Clark and Lex, my betas, and Slayer and Ninja, my frogs. Not so cuddly, but just as lovable!

By the way, today was my first day at my nanny job with the new baby, so I guess Im in a really "aww thats so cute," mood. But I think you got that point already!
