My Most Important Bit of Kit

As people search for the ultimate in shiny mobile blogging tools, I'm sometimes asked.. "What's your most important bit of kit?" In the past, without thinking, I've said my smartphone.

She has a wee and a pooh on all occasions and I sometimes wish my metabolism was that fast.
