All our friends were at a party on the top floor of a plate glass tower block in Leith. I wanted to join them, but I didn’t have the right change for the bus. Eventually I took the long route to Leith – by foot, via Leicester.

Along the way I met DTJ and KJ, who had left JJ with a babysitter for the night. KJ called a friend to give us a lift to the party in her taxi.

As we approached the tower block I got out of the car to see if I could still perform my famous trick of launching myself into the air and flying high above the building. I managed it – just.

The others were both surprised and delighted to hear my tapping at the window with a request to be let in so that I could join in all the fun.
