We came upon an elderly couple as they were also on their daily walk. The gentleman was wheeling their black poodle as it sat in a pram, the only problem being that he had forgotten to disengage the pram’s brake.
As he did so, I could not help but mention of how, in the previous week, I had failed in my attempt to start our lawnmower and of how it wasn’t until I had gone upstairs to report this fact to Tiki, that she inquired of me if I had, in fact, engaged its choke.
“I was very nearly choked, there and then!”, I joked.
