I am writing this from Toronto, where the Current Consort and I are visiting our middle daughter. We have just crossed the border from the United States, where we spent most of a week visiting elderly siblings of our respective fathers.
In 2016 the Current Consort and I bought a two-year-old electric car that had 25,000km on the clock. It cost us €16,000 after trading in a worthless diesel jalopy.
There is undoubtedly a touch of spring in the air: the daffodils are braving the rain, some of the bite has gone out of the wind and there is a fresh light in the sky.
Even in the frost the Current Consort and I took to the road for our daily dawn perambulation, with our youthful dog pulling us along.
The Current Consort left me this morning for a plethora of meetings, from here to the capital and back. She’ll be on the missing list for a few days and I am holding the fort assisted by a pair of dogs at either side of the gender divide and at either end of their dog lives.
