Two Things That Have Never Happened Before

1.There was a stretch limo outside our house last night. It was as big as three cars welded together and had little greeny lights down its flanks, like a deep sea fish. Ailz went out and spoke to the driver and had a look inside. She said it had seats on one side and a bar on the other.

2. For my tea last night I was eating curds and whey, just like Miss Muffet. It was flavoured with cardomon and almonds and had an Urdu name. You'd think curds would be slimey but they're not- or, at least- these weren't. They had a dryish, firm texture like- well,  like nothing else I can think of- like nice,crumbly peat perhaps.
