Spare a thought today for the poor, beleaguered commuters of London, especially City PA Lilly Morgans, 25, who was reported in yesterday's ES as having had to walk an entire 1.5 miles.

Oh poor love.  I hope she had the proper safety equipment for an expedition like that.

It's going to be a hard struggle but I'm going to strive to find a suitable bubble bath for my future adventures in cleanliness. Hopefully someone will send me a pleasantly fragranced care package and a nice bottle of wine to help make bath time that bit more bearable.

There is only one bubble bath worthy of soaking away those first world problems.



I'm down to my last half bottle. Help!

The 'noise' from the ice cream van is ruining my enjoyment of the live performance of the London Symphony Orchestra on Radio 3.

My coffee grinder is too noisy. So since I got up at 4:30am and didn’t want to wake the rest of the house I had to make a pot with whatever ground coffee I could find. I 50/50 mix of the last of the Lidl Kenyan and the one year old Illy Espresso I found at the back of the cupboard is interesting. Still it seems to have plenty of caffeine.

I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.

I popped into John Lewes to buy some trousers yesterday and couldn't find any I liked. I'll have to make an appointment with my tailor.

I brought a pair of Julian's excellent homemade spinach and feta cheese muffins into work this morning.  When I unwrapped them, to eat for breakfast alongside a cup of single origin Kenyan Kikai pourover, I noticed that they had the smallest amount of mould growing on their surface.

I had to go down to the cafeteria for a Danish pastry instead.

The problem facing me the other evening, was the strapping on my 'longs' was ever so slightly rumpled/twisted in my shoe, causing me a little discomfort when out for a blast before tea. I could have dealt with it, but that would have interrupted my ride by a couple of minutes. I decided to 'bank' those minutes to help me get back in time to put the oven on before my wife returned from her zumba class.


Needless to say, I didn't make it back in time. I think my bike's getting slower.

Wanted, no needed, a cup of tea for the train journey into London but had no cash for the station café. Thankfully as a 'known face' I was allowed to take now and pay later and not have the horror of a 45 minute train journey without tea...

After 10 hard years labour, our dishwasher has given up the ghost. That is not the greatest horror, though. I will need to find a pair of Marigolds, so i can do the washing up, but nowhere stocks them big enough for my shovel hands! I have no option, therefore, but to either wash up ala commando, or suffer with aching hands from gloves that are too small.

What is a man to do?

Wash up commando.  With suitable organic, hypo-allegergenic, eco-friendly washing up liquid you shouldn't need Marigolds.

If you can get your hands into the water without Marigolds, the water isn't hot enough.

Not quite true.

For most people that is the case, but, as people on this forum will testify, I have a) asbestos hands and b) a higher than normal pain threshold...
