I was extravagant today. It’s not normally in my nature to be so. Much to Mrs Penguin’s consternation I’m one of those people who make do and mend. I hate buying new things when the old ones work perfectly well. My computer is a mixture of cobbled together bits and bobs, mostly second hand or donated stuck together to form a working machine.

Ok, I go and make him a tea now (cuddle incl.)
