It Takes Two
At the weekend, Ruth and I travelled to Edinburgh to attend a tango class for which we were in no-way qualified. We learned a lot, but mostly because we knew very little to begin with!

ET App
Travelling around Edinburgh by tram this weekend, I kept being advertised the "ET app".
I didn't install the app, in case it was bundled with spyware.
After all, everybody my age knows: ET phones home.

Tonight a stand-up comedian asked my publicity-shy partner which of the men she was sitting with was her partner, and she said "Both." I am so proud.
...
The second really did just walk into it when he asked Ruth “So which of these two men are you with? Or is it both?” “Yes, both,” she replied, and, in the period of silence while the comedian was still trying to comprehend what she’d said, added, “We’re polyamorous.”
I was so very proud of her in … -

How Not To Watch Comedy
We failed quite miserably to see any live comedy yesterday (although the day before was good). I blame the wine.
Y'see, we thought: you know what would be nice before we go out this afternoon? A quick bottle or two of wine.
