Sunday Stealing: Three Things

 It's been an interesting day. I've been to the gym. I've given a reflexology session while listening to Lou Reed. I've binge watched about half of the series The Bear (and it's excellent). 

Now, it's a matter of ironing one piece of clothing which has been washed and dried today, then doing a question, while trying to keep my cat off of my office chair. I feel so bad when I have to turf him off. 

Questions, as always, have been provided by Bev at Sunday Stealing. 

Three names you go by, other than your given name:

• I was known as Skip or Skippy to my workmates in London.

• I'm reasonably smart (certainly not stupid)
