The TV Licensing Authority says you need a licence to watch streaming coverage over broadband if it's shown at the same time as the programme.

One of the pairs of shoes I bought was from Germany. So I was surprised when I saw a "7 1/2" on the bottom. That's more like the British size. German shoes, sold in America, marked in UK size!

(The size is puzzling me now actually. I'm sure I bought a 9.5. If you use half sizes, American and UK sizes are 2.5 off. A 9.5 should be a 7. I know this from sneaker boxes: US 9, UK 6.5, Eur 40. Looking at the shoes now, they do look slightly too long, though normally I would put that down to having gone to a 9.5.)

(Speaking of shoe sizes, my feet have turned into clodhoppers. When I was 18, I was a size 9, somewhere between narrow and medium. Now I'm a 9.5 in a lot of shoes, and between M and W. It's not as if I have fat feet, they've just spread! I was also told I have "abnormally high insteps". In real terms, this means "no, you can't buy half the sandals here; they won't buckle".)

If Zoe is on the balcony and sees you in the bedroom (the windows from the bedroom look onto the balcony) she starts crying. Seeing me through the glass seems to disturb her.

If I come through into the living room and to the balcony door, she'll then come right towards me.
