I was cooking ‘toad in the hole’ at the time; Chris was at his computer and Roland was in the kitchen overseeing cooking operations (as you do when you’re a friend staying for a while but not quite au fait with the running of the house). It suddenly occurred to me that Roland might be missing the running of his own home, even down to cooking.
“Do you miss cooking?” I asked.
“No, I don’t know her really,” he replied.
I wish my brain was that quick.
