Born Free

This small friendly lion on my desk at home was a gift from the Born Free Foundation when my wife arranged for me to 'adopt' Sinbad the Lion for my birthday a couple of years ago.

This photograph also reveals some of the other items on my desk: 'House' Season 6 on DVD, plus a couple of books - The Men Who Stare at Goats and The Islamist - that are still sitting there although I actually finished them both a while ago.
