Good morning, world!

I kept the Nikoff by my bed last night, so that I could capture the first thing I saw on waking. Tosca is in her customary morning station, and note the protruding toes!

I had a busy morning once I emerged. I went for a run – much nicer doing it today in sunshine and a light breeze than it was yesterday in drizzle and a howling gale.. I hoovered my living room, from which the ‘pooter has been removed so that I can slob out with a book without needing to know what (if any) email has arrived in the last thirty seconds, and pretended to do some work.
