8th November. Pure Fantasy.

Mr W's mid-life thing has taken the form of the idea that when the three kids are a bit older he's going to sell the house give them all a bit of money then buy a boat and sail the world.

One daughter who was off school with a vomiting bug was only interested in when she was likely to have her own pony, and spent the afternoon leaving through catalogues of equestrian supplies.

It's a well known fact that horses are a complete money pit second only to ocean going yachts.

Scientists are prone to mid life crises, but they find it hard to define the terms, viz. does "mid" mean middle, median, average, weighted average, mean (arithmetic or geometric) or is it just a guess? It may be life, Jim, but not as we know it.

The world may not always need scientists but chimneys are constant.
