Fuchi, my old cat (21+) is lying on a pillow on my lap. She’s asleep and I don’t want to wake her, even though I almost cannot feel my legs anymore.

Have you ever been told you look like a famous person? Who?
Yes, many times, but always different celebrities and I cannot recall any of them — that was a long time ago, back when I (apparently) looked like famous people. Now that I’m bald (by choice, sort of) people say I look like Mr. Proper. Does that count?

I really couldn’t tell. I don’t like flowers that much — I’m allergic to most, if not all of them. But I don’t want to leave you hanging. I like orange flowers — orange is my favourite colour.

What color ink do you prefer in a pen?
Black. In school we always had to write in blue and I hated it. Now I kind of like blue, but still…
