"Three men in a Boat" by Jerome K Jerome. (who would give their son such a repetitive name?).
I have fond memories of this book from my days in Junior school (not sure how old I was but less than 11). My Class teacher, Mr Amos, used to read us chapters from the book and I was enthralled by it. Still remember the struggle to open a tin of pineapple chunks without a tin opener!
I've read the book once since schooldays but, its time for a re-read.
Despite being written over 120 years ago, its still as relevant now as it must have been then. Great fun and a chapter at bedtime sends me to sleep with a smile on my lips
Rummaging around in the back of the cupboard I found a tin of pineapple slices (not chunks). They've been there years, can't remember what made me buy them so I decided to find a tin opener and eat them - trying to open them with any other implement would probably have landed me in A&E. I also found a tin of evaporated milk so I've had a Sunday afternoon tea ...........on a Tuesday.
I probably won't rush out to buy another tin of either but I enjoyed them in a "wind the clock back" way!!
