Christmas Day, 2006, 11:00am

We leave the house, and close the front door which locks behind us.

"Have you got the keys?"
"No, I thought you had them"
"No"
"Oh"
"Where's the spare set?"
"In my other bag in the house"
"Oh"

The only good thing was we had the car keys and the presents. Remarkably (though appparently it is relatively common) there are locksmiths who can turn up within an hour to get you back in. But, sensibly, they do rather charge for it.
