Well it’s definitely the weirdest Autumn I can remember – one minute everyone’s shouting that they want the heating on and the next it’s t-shirt weather. And I know that October can be changeable, but it’s not usually this extreme. Anyway, if we’re settling into a pattern of warm days and cold nights (it’s like…
It doesn’t matter how many light bulbs you currently have in your house – I have three boxes of the damn things – it is a truth universally acknowledged that you haven’t got one to fit that light that just blew. And if, by some miracle, you do have one that fits the socket, the…
