Sorry I couldn't resist posting this totally gratuitous image of my friends Ruth & Al's girls hamster Ginger! As soon as I arrived there last week to stay in there fantastically hospitable Edinburgh home, out came ginegr and into the Barbie car ... I think the girls sense a more than willing audience for pet tricks with me.

I'm hoping tonights lecture by my friend Lucy Kimbell: One Night With Rats in the Service of Art (at Camden Arts Centre) will provide more rodent entertainment!
