So, last year our washing machine blew up and Oh Patient One and I narrowly avoided a whole day of being bored out of our minds in the washing-machine showroom, yes we did.

Remember poor Borg Sector G’s Trouble With Travel and how he was thwarted in his quest to retrieve Oh Patient One’s left-on-a-plane packet? Well, I cannot tell you how many times Oh Patient One called the telephone number for the appropriate “help” desk at the airport to try to arrange to collect his missing packet. [...]
Otherwise known as How Michelle Saved Two Blackbirds From Certain Death By Kitteh! But first a little explanation about the Darwin Awards.

No, I am not talking about the fabulous song by the equally fabulous Mr Hucknell and Simply Red. “So what are you referring to, Michelle,” I hear you cry? Well, when I am in the middle of writing a book, which I am right now, let’s just say that I get more than a bit [...]
