    I imagine he is. If you watch Paul, isn't it funny what he can so creatively entertain himself with? (and us, too!) He must have learned early on to entertain himself with what was readily available to him. He puts "do your duty" way down the list at 3746 because duty doesn't feel like duty since he's having fun at the same time.

    No! That would be triumphalist.

    I'm merely exuding a self congratulatory confidence.

    I think the phrase you're looking for is "play by myself," no?

    No

    Tip 184: Always wash your trousers before you put them away in the wardrobe - especially after a couple of weeks - and don't leave them there and forget they need washing and pack them in your workbag a year or so later having forgotten the state they're in.

    I did this today and had to make a special trip home to get some suitably clean ones. They were so sticky and shiny that they nearly looked two-tone. It's been another warm day today and I thought I might attract flies...

    Tip 185: Make sure your trouser pockets haven't got big holes in them.

    The ones I got out today had holes in the pockets which I had forgotten about until I put my change in there and it fell down my trouser leg. Annoying...

    Heartwarming to see you taking your first hesitant steps back into the community though.

    It's the realising that does it.
