Infrequently asked questions

Q. What's that in your profile picture?

A. That's Gemma Bovery by Posy Simmonds, as stuck to the cover of my Black n Red diary.

Q. And the picture in the banner?

A. That is one wall of the road under the bridge at Kilburn Tube. Someone's done a far-out art work in spraypaint and I think if you live here long enough, you come to love it.

Q. How many weeks 'til Christmas?

A. Lost count. Just don't do what you did last year and leave it all until the 20th. No, no, no.

Q. What, other than the Bible and Shakespeare, would you take upon a desert island?

A. Butter. And bread, obviously. I love a Bible-and-Shakespeare sandwich.

Q. Who are your blogging inspirations?

A. Cor, I've always hoped you'd ask. I really liked Petite Anglaise's blog, now long gone, and all her indiscretions. Also, since moving to Kilburnia I've had a very soft spot for The Willesden Herald. I know I should add links to these two but, having held Mr Pie's hand all day, I have to say I'm a bit tired of the mummying role right now.
