if I'm in the kitchen baking or cooking something delicious, Charles will pop through to have a little nose around...
... Today, however, I left a pan of sugar on the heat for about twenty minutes. I didn't mean to, obviously. I just took a bag of rubbish to the bin and got talking to the man who lives across the road.
Big Mistake.
By the time I turned back to the house, I could smell the burning from halfway down the drive and had to literally battle my way through the smoke to get to the, by now, cremated, pan.
At no time did Charles move from his chair. Even when there was smoke billowing out of the kitchen he didn't move and, more importantly...
... Why did none of our three fire alarms go off.
Time to get the batteries replaced I think!
