Backsun...

...off to nearly the Lake District for the weekend - back midweek. I was going to write out the note Pooh leaves in 'Winnie the Pooh' in which he tells Piglet he'll be backsun, but I'm very tired and conscious of having to remember socks - as on our first trip to this particular cottage I forgot socks and had to wear The Doctors. One memorable morning we had four dirty pairs, one clean pair and three wet pairs. The Doctor put the clean pair on me - and he needed to dry a pair for him.

So I suggested the microwave.

Have you ever seen a sock combust?

I wasn't overly popular. Still The Doc told the story in his speech at our wedding - and in such a way that it made me look good.

Bless him.
