He insists on wearing a suit despite the heat and he has this green lizard that's residing in his rickety beach house. It's very amusing.

I read somewhere recently that Victor Hugo used to write in the nude. He'd give his clothes to a servant so he wouldn't be able to go out and would have to keep plotting away. Probably a specious story, but I love it.

The other, a lively border collie, does the hard work - like reminding me I need to go for a long walk, or have a game of catch. I'd never cope without them. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05938431508430656253noreply@blogger.com
