Never mind, I've spent quite a few years living solo, or part-time solo, and I'm sure you'll be able to adapt to the new situation fairly quickly!
Never feel that guilt, or the rolling pin again!

Dogs (Westies in my case) are the ideal companions. As long as they get a walk, food, and some play every day, they couldn't give a toss about your hobbies- no matter how bizarre they might be

Oh, I don't know, my dog and two cats give me some strange looks. . . . .
Well, Mick, that might be more to do with your modelling- of -underpants antics.... than your 1/16 modelling activities...
