I was a tad slow to realise i was being pranked by having things moved. I was in Melbourne at my daughter’s flat, rushing to go out and knowing i had put my keys on the edge of the bed. Nope. Not there. I spun in circles mouthing expletives looking everywhere for them, and then turned back – et voila! there they were on the edge of the bed again. i both laughed and swore at him.

Then i said ” Erik! i’m too old to cope with such pranks, don’t know whether that’s you, or menopause or dementia!!”

Some months later i’m sitting at my desk back in Sydney, my iPhone on the desk untouched. A song in my iTunes on the phone comes on… i turn it off… it comes on again… i turn it off laughing.. and then a 3rd time! I don’t know why he wanted me to listen to ‘The miracle of Joey Ramone’ by u2 except that i do love that song. Never has my phone behaved like that. Funny boy.
