What a fantastic summer that was, eh? Here in the southern hemisphere we are about to slip seamlessly into autumn. In fact ,we might already have done, as I can never work out what day the seasons change. Anyway, the sun has bid a cheery farewell and it’s getting blooming cold now. What can we do to stop the cold weather making us miserable until next summer? Maybe I could start dabbling in the heady.

I had an internet problem last week. The service was down all week and I suffered from severe withdrawal symptoms which left me wondering what people did back in the old day when they couldn’t pop online to look at that Gangnam video again or check out what mischief their friends were up to on Facebook. What other essentials of modern life might we not be able to live with these days? Do you realise.

It is a long time since I have studied anything other than the weather forecast. This isn’t something which bothers me, as I hated school and couldn’t wait to get out of there and into a poorly paid and crushingly boring job. Recently I have been tempted to learn some new skills and if I weren’t so lazy I might do one of the following things. Learn to Cook I can handle some things in.

I have never confessed this before to anyone but I used to write comedy scripts for TV shows. Bad ones. When I worked in a dimly lit office in a faceless bank branch every day at work was a giddy adventure offering thrills, spills and three varieties of hot drinks in the office coffee machine. To help me cope with the high adrenalin lifestyle of ordering cheque books and debit cards I started surreptitiously writing.

My little girl has been going to her nursery for some time now and comes home excited every day. She barely enters the car before spouting off about how she hit Santiago on the nose (he is a little annoying, to be fair), stole Paul’s banana and wet her trousers again. Anyway, this got me thinking about what the ideal nursery for such a crazy, hyperactive kid might be. Would it be possible to design.
