Good things come in small, folded packages

Drawing by Mario Jambresic

Clay creatures by Masami Yamagiwa

By Guiseppe Bomparola

I'm not digging the new location for the Museum Of Everything's new exhibition - Selfridges is just wrong, wrong, wrong. But there are some real art gems - this time around made by people with various learning difficulties.
The work of Mario Jambresic was a good find. He draws solo male figures with pencils and crayons on paper, then folds the work up into a small piece and keeps it in his pocket until he is ready, sometimes after many months, to give it up and allow it to be displayed. Loved it.

Poodle update

A wonderful display, I think you'll agree.

Over the next few days I will give updates of my progress on buying kitsch dogs to adorn the house. Here are some for starters.

More reasons to go to Greece

Hydra harbour - the view from our balcony window

Carrying cat biscuits in my pocket is a must for occasions like this

Cat fashion: The mum's tail scarf. So on trend.

My favourite Flatty

So we were back in Greece - this time on the Greek Island of Hydra, which I loved. No cars are allowed on the little island that's about an hour and a half away by boat from Athens. So you have to walk, get in a water taxi or take a donkey ride. We mostly chose our feet. Hydra's not as ramshackle as Skopolos, which is a shame. And it was quite expensive. But the views were fab, the food delish and everywhere you looked there were cats. Now you can't argue with that.

Animals with moustaches

"Take your scissors and fuck off."

I didn't realise horses could grow moustaches. This is the story of Alfie, the horse who won't let his owners clip his face hair. Good job too - it's bloody brilliant!

More animals should go for it.
