I cant deny that I felt rather hurt

of “guff” each week.

town.

So I was encouraged to try again.
Either my brain will not function
these days, or else the world is
strangely full of uninteresting inci-
dents, as ideas for this corner have
been at a low ebb for sometime now.
I strongly suspect the former.

Life has been somewhat hectic the
past couple of months though. Even
though I had dependable Mrs. Got-
fin to help me in the first week or so
at home after the advent of “baby
brother,” I soon found he had a hol-
jJow leg which necessitated being fed
often in a vain attempt to fill it up.
This proved somewhat tiring natur-
ally, especially during the night, and
far from banging out a column in my
Spare moments, I headed straight
for the chesterfield instead.

Life was further complicated by
Elaine developing a had cold and ton-
sellitis, the first in over a year I'll
swear. And loving baby brother so

much, she naturally passed it along
to him. Baby brother was a’ pretty
sick little boy for several days, and
while Clive took the night shift with
Elaine, I hovered over baby brother.
It is hard to say who got the least
sleep.

Then a crisis arose in the office
jand we were left in a spot with po-!

Mrs. Goffin to look after the family
while I worked in the office. For a

bottles and diapers and meals to pre-

proof-reading and folding papers
again. I can't deny that I enjoyed it |

pendix.

Unable to locate another “mother’s
helper,” I spent the next week or two
racing ‘up and down the stairs, feed-
ing the baby then dashing down to
the office for an hour or two of book-
keeping with many trips upstairs to
make sure all was serene.

Things have more or less settled
down to an even tonor now, although
I still spend many evenings in help
ing out with office work,

So as you can see, such a sched-
ule has Jeft litle time for writing 2
column, never mind trying to think
of something to write about.

I told a friend the other night that
I couldn't think of anything to write
about; then changing the subject I
went on to tell her of our three ex-
periences with fire all in one day.

First of all Elaine had managed
to get hold of a box of matches un-
known to me, and her father came in
at lunch to find half the matches in
a small heap on the lawn BURNT,
and we still shudder to think how
close we came to tragedy.

The next experience was when I
plugged in the electric kettle at sup-
per time. A second later flames were]
shooting up the wall from the switch.
While I stood and screamed, Clive
naturally had the presence of mind
to pull the cord; but the scorch mari
on the wall remains,

The third episode came in the eve-
ning whi at the show. Cli
was hunting for a lost wallet and lit
2 match to see if it had dropped be-
hind the fridge. The flame caught in
the fluffy dust underneath (1 can't
imagine where it came. trom!) and

in a moment was blazing merrily.
Although he momentarily wondered
whether he should get the kids out
first, Clive grabbed a pair of Elaine’s
overalls (the handiest article) and
successfully smothered the flames.
After reciting these exeiting hap-
penings, my friend looked at me for
@ moment, then said “‘and you have
