This began as a tale of two gay men, a cat and an octogenarian. It's not a sitcom but I'm not entirely sure it's real life. As a couple we realised we had a choice: either write about life with the grumpy old dwarf and try to see the funny side or bump him off and put him in the skip outside next door. Since that time we have moved on ... 7 years later I came back to update things! So now there are two men, two dogs and a bungalow in Barrybados.

Sleeping Beauty


tree fellers (2), originally uploaded by Kelteek.
I awake to find that they’re lopping the trees in my crescent – which means a better view across the crescent although the view of council workers with power tools is pretty alright! The noise is deafening and adds to the workers banging away next door. Then there is a nice bit when it all stops and the young man has a nap in his council van while his mate runs off for sandwiches at Tesco.

Richard wakes up as the cat treads on his bladder demanding a breakfast. He is taking his dad to the doctors with his leg (as if there was an option to leave it home). We didn’t get to talk last night as we were both out drinking with separate groups of people – absinthe makes the heart grow fonder.
