I needed to get home from an event on the Mound, but it was pouring down outside. I was not going to risk ruining my long purple suede boots. Then someone suggested that I probably had some other footwear in my rucksack. I looked inside and there I was surprised to come across a pair of high-heeled red suede ankle boots (also unsuitable for wet pavements). When I rummaged further down the bag I finally came across my flat black stomping shoes. Now I was ready to set off.

However, TF had other plans. The shower unit lent for the meeting belonged to the F family, but they had no means of getting it home. Would I be kind enough to phone TPR, and ask him to collect me and the shower in the car? Would we be willing (please) to store the shower in one of our spacious cellars?
