Bladder Control: Wednesday, 5th January, 1977

It has rained throughout the day, torrentially at times, with the thermometer failing to register above nineteen degrees Celsius.

When I tuned into the fourth day’s play of the Second Test, at 4.30 p.m., I learned that Australia had declared at 8-315 (Rick McCosker, 105) thereby setting Pakistan to score five hundred runs, in order to win. Pakistan was 2-86 when I left the broadcast, however, when I returned to it, at stumps, that score had slumped to be 7-128.

At half past eight we watched the televising of the Wheels Magazine’s “Car Of The Year Award” for 1976. The Volkswagen ‘Golf’ was declared to be the winner.

As it was a dark night, Tiki came up with the idea that we should turn off all of the lights and try to scare one another. Whilst I remained silent, Tiki began to regret the idea and commenced to emit sounds that not only conveyed to me that she was becoming increasingly more frightened but also the position of her whereabouts.

Sensing that she was about to head for the nearest light switch, I reached it first and placed my hand across it. She almost lost control of her bladder when she reached out and felt the hairs on the back of my hand.
