"Ed, you're thick…

…and unbelievably stoopid!" Shrewd observation, Emmur, but seriously sweetheart, it sounds like you’re gonna need to start earning some serious money!

Well all I’m willing to give to the collection is the whip, I have an old lunge whip somewhere in the attic, Emma can have that then she can earn her own funds. I have a feeling she’ll be rather good at it.

More and more are occurring to me. Next-door-but-one’s children have some little friends around on a ‘playdate’, as their lackwitted keepers would no doubt describe it.

'Somewhere almost out of hearing, children were at play. It was always a pleasant, lulling sound.

You could always build a craniophone. As an instrument it’s fallen somewhat out of favour in recent years but if you get the resonances just right…
