The most recent post on What about Paris?, Dog days: Hot, with increasing chaos later this week sums it all up. And I thought it was just the down turn, and for more on that you cannot do better (or should it be worse) than read Jeremy Hodges’ post in Legal Week today on the trials of the mid tier property sector, Property woes prompt tough times for mid-tier.

The eldest is now back in the UK, after Berlin and Milan, and living in Hackney. Just around the corner, it seems, from one of the mad mullahs, so lots of police activity. The day before yesterday she managed to lock herself in the bathroom. It took 20 minutes and the Fire Brigade to release her: they were as surprised as we were to learn that the bathroom door had a deadlock. It makes you wonder about the previous tenants. Anyway, no harm done and at least she had her dressing gown with her (her mother’s first thought).

Yesterday evening her front door bell rang. There was one of the boys in blue. They were making house to house enquiries about three “parked” cars. Not, as the eldest immediately thought, to caution her for wasting the Fire Brigade’s time! I doubt that Red Watch complained.
