I moved out of the lair today and into Leftwing Idiot’s where I’ll be staying for a few weeks before moving into my new superhero home. Leftwing Idiot isn’t here – he’s on holiday with Poppy. Something else very familiar has also gone – the geranium.

I’ve written about my strange obsession with this plant and how, since its arrival at Leftwing Idiot’s flat a few months ago, I’ve kept making rude comments about it and swearing at it.

Before he went away Leftwing Idiot took the geranium across town to his parents because he didn’t trust me with it. Personally I don’t think this was necessary, although this evening I did tic, “I’ve got kill-a-geranium-virus.”
