My delightful young assistant of yesterday had his education thoroughly expande! Which is no bad thing, he's never keen on new experiences at the best of times, and adding me into the mix somewhat unexpectedly over the last few weeks has been interesting.

So, he learnt I really can get an awful lot into a small car with the back seats down. That it is possible to drive using only wing mirrors for checking the rear view. That mishaps may happen, but it's possible to charm your way out of them.

He did, however, escape with all possible speed once the task was done!! And he did fill me in on far more of the family gossip of the last few weeks than I think he realised... most useful of him.
