I suppose he'll be back tomorrow evening. Better put the pasta away.
I feel very tempted to say one mousetrap is still going after 55 years but this one only lasted 11 minutes. Too corny, so I won't.

About Me
For the first twenty-odd years of my life, I spent it all in Southern Africa, years that already showed signs of my future nomadic existence. There was an element of reluctance about them then but it's only in later life that my travels have become more nomadic and more reluctantly so. Travel broadens the mind, allegedly, and it can but only spice up one's existence. However, the more distanced I become from my roots, the more I want to stay put for a while, a long while. But, when that happens, will I be happy staying put or will I become reluctant at that?Places I Like to Visit
