The other week my husband and I discovered among our many books, a couple we had given to each other when we were teenagers.

I gave him, 'Beware of the Abbot', by Hugh Burnett

And he gave me 'Birds, Bees and Storks', by Hoffnung

Both books are very amusing.

On the aside it is an odd word but now I have the idea of a buffoon in a balloon

...and why not? The idea of going up in a balloon terrifies me. I'd have to be sedated to do it.
