Trying to win an argument with a three-and-a-half year old who is dropping his Brio train engine onto the roof of a Lego tower. Don’t worry he says, when I ask him why. Things drop on roofs all the time. Like what I ask. Rain, the reply. I could persist?

@Lesufi One of my favourite memories is us laughing because the desk sergeant at the policy station where I signed in every Wednesday as a banned person, begged Priscilla Jana to stop me harassing them! For all she did in a principled fight for freedom, may her soul rest in peace
