Fear of the dentist cured by beans (Rousse)
We returned to our old dental practice, hoping that they would take us back. The elderly dentist ushered us into his premises through the tatty hall (littered with spent tissues and lumps of chewing gum). At the waiting room counter, … Continue reading

A neglected guest witnesses wax flowers, uncovers a property tax dodge, and sticks up for non-smokers (Rousse)
I visited J and GC at their new house in the US. They had relocated there for G’s job. His role now extended beyond sound production and included procurement. These days star-struck hopefuls would approach him seeking fame and fortune … Continue reading

Hero of the exhibition hall survives animal attacks but loses a laptop (Rousse)
I was the hero of the exhibition hall when I caught a toddler-on-the-loose by the arm and promptly returned her to her grateful parents. We’d heard rumours of the wild animals that preyed on visitors as they left the venue. … Continue reading
