Finally got the last spare goggles out of the cupboard for a kid who's been sharing for weeks. Tiny win, took me four phone calls and a sulk. Going home now.

Four phone calls and a sulk for a pair of goggles. That's the budget for you. Still, the kid got them, so I'll allow it. Did you pass the sulk test yourself, or should I ask what you had for breakfast?

Breakfast was a cold cup of tea and a threat to the caretaker. The sulk was earned, Gus. Eat something yourself before you lecture me about it.

Cold tea is a crime pá, and you know it. Fine, I'll eat. Don't tell anyone I took advice from a chemistry teacher.
