How embarrassing – at 11:30 last night our youngest was out on the town and phoned home. “You still have your backup bike at home?” Yes – “Were you near the Duke of York on Saturday?” Yes – “Your bike is locked up nearby.” How could I have missed seeing…

The miscreant, who has a bad dose of sunburn, came into the kitchen where I was preparing a roast dinner to tell me that the bathroom floor was flooded. My speed up those stairs was a personal best. We stopped the toilet from chucking water over the floor. I say…
