It was only just after 9.30 when, after watching the Royals play Leeds on Sky, I mentioned my foot pain to the parents, that my father guessed straight ( Read more... ) -

With only days of Lent remaining, I got hit with a double whammy of temptation at work. First Demelza brought a chocolate-coated sponge cake in - she suggested, tongue in cheek, that I scrape the chocolate off and just eat the sponge bit.
