More diary comics from yours truly

Instagram caption: I'm sure people must think I'm exaggerating, but I have literally had to start putting kitchen roll in my handbag so that I can discreetly dab my face whenever I come across an empty aisle in Morrisons. And I have begun to consciously walk very slowly, like an old-age pensioner, so as not to break out in a sweat - because once it starts, well, you saw my previous comic strip about the river of sweat, right? It's not a pretty sight 😭

Instagram caption: Does anyone else do this, just to shave off a few pounds? No? Just me then. 🤭

Instagram caption: I guess the sparrows are earning their keep by clearing up my garden... about time too, the amount of suet balls and mealworms they're going through at the moment! It was honestly SO satisfying though, when I saw the little sparrows gathering up my dog's fur in their little beaks - like literally stuffing their beaks with as much of it as they could (clearly it's quality insulation!) 🐾 Oh, and in case anyone is concerned... I don't use any harmful flea treatments on my dog, so her floof is nice and safe for the birdies and their nestlings ❤

Instagram caption: Thanks for just being in the moment with me, even if it's only for a moment. Sometimes, sitting can be better than talking, when talking is difficult.

Instagram caption: Today was a tough day, so here's a funny story that occurred at the weekend instead. And before any haters quip in that I'm abusing my dog, my neighbour totally got it, and said her sister does exactly the same thing with her dog - phew! I'm not a terrible dog owner, I'm perfectly normal. It's just fascinating to observe your pet behave like a wild animal, occasionally, right? Or is it just me and my neighbour's sister? 🐾🌚🐺

Instagram caption: Walking the dog is always good thinking time 🐾💭

Instagram caption: Obviously, the birds weren't aware that they'd been enrolled in this contest - they were just going about their business, hunting and gathering, while I was letting my imagination run away with itself while stuffing my face with chocolate buttons! 🏆🍫
