6 h. ago Tim Dowling: how can my wife live without her glasses – and even her phone?

I’m slightly alarmed that my wife, who is driving, has mistaken the mist on her glasses for actual mistIt is early in the morning, and my wife and I are setting off on a long car journey.

2 w. ago Tim Dowling: Why are my friends erasing me from their holiday memories?

I try to think of another detail from the weekend that will convince them of my presence, but absolutely nothing comes to mindAfter a sometimes fraught four-hour car journey, my wife and I and three friends arrive at a remote, sea-facing house in Greece. I’ve been here once before, a couple of years ago, but my memory of the place is fragmentary. I’ve remembered, for example, that you can’t get the car anywhere near the house – you have to lug your stuff across a beach and over some rocks – and have packed accordingly. But the view from the top of the rocks still comes as a disheartening surprise.“I forgot about the second beach,” I say, looking at the house in the distance. Continue reading...

His whole family worked by recycling things. They picked up plastic, ...
