BUTTERCUPS AND WARHEADS

I wish I could shrug off sexism.

Ming and the children have crisps in their lunch boxes.

Their decision - my worry.

Ming's chopped down the green manure on the allotment. He'll dig it in after supper.

While he works, he sings an excruciating little ditty called - "We're going to Ma's on Mars'".

(Which is all fixed up for the end of June.)

(And I'm looking forward to it!)

Worthing and Didcott will be spending the day riveting the noses of nuclear warheads to the long tube bits which contain the fuel.

Ming's dusting them.

(The warheads - not Worthing and Didcott.)

(And he's not dusting the warheads they're working on now - but the ones they made earlier.)

(Otherwise, he'd get in the way!)

* * * * *

There's one carrot; lots of buttercups; no beetroot; and the pumpkin's got eaten.

Where's Marjorie?

That's what I want to know.
