I'm curious about the parts of the country that didn't riot. As far as I'm aware, there was no serious trouble in the North East, nor in any northern city apart from Manchester and Leeds, nor in any Welsh or Scottish city.
Odi dropped by just before lunch. She had come straight from church and the kids were demob-happy. Fabi threw a tantrum about something or other and I tried shouting at him- not because I'd lost it, but quite cold-bloodedly- to see if it would work. It didn't.
