A Sticky Situation

It seems cats just can’t resist turning Chris into something resembling Quasimodo!

My wife Lorraine is forever forcing me to “look after myself.” Probably noting my failure to look after rabbits particularly effectively, she must feel the need to keep an eye on the situation. This enforced self-mindfulness can involve anything from putting a coat on in -10 degrees (she puts my reluctance to do so down to a Geordie gene in my heritage) to occasionally eating vegetables (really, I much prefer eating things that eat vegetables) and applying various creams and moisturisers before “it’s too late”. I’m concerned about what exactly happens when it’s too late, but I resist the horrible oily stuff at all costs.
