wheel changes
Today I had the task of transporting a long slim person back to his university accommodation. He has been occupying a room at our house for the Christmas vacation. Because he is unable to leave any of his belongings in his room during vacations we have to fill our car with them (and him) at…

Ding Dong merrily on high volume
I can hear the sound of ringing. No it’s not Christmas bells! Last night I went to a concert with one of the world’s biggest Paul Weller fans, to whom I happen to be married. It was a concert in support of the charity Crisis and Paul Weller was the headline act. It was loud!…
