The good news from Brighton is that it's now estimated that the work may take 8 weeks! But they may fit a mini hot-water boiler to keep us going in the meantime...
Over the last couple of years my previously svelte figure has developed...and I now have a gentle bulge in the stomach region. This year it's got a little rounder as I've not been cycling as much as I used to, as much as I like, as much as I should. A few months ago it was named 'The Pod'.
Last night we squashed on to the over-full tube following our trip to see 'Wicked'. I stood next to The Cat.
The Cat (16, female)"I can feel your pod"
The Boy (15, male) "That's not his pod"
Looks of horror around us....apart from one man who giggled.
Nota Bene "I'm sorry, we're a very dysfunctional family"
I may have failed as a father. Badly.
