I went to Dunedin last weekend to stay with my brother and his girlfriend Lauren. Lauren moved here from Scotland just before Christmas 2009 to join my brother and she claims to have had few domestic skills before her arrival.
She's a world class swimmer (she very modestly disclosed, after having known her for a almost a year that she qualified for the UK Olympic team in 2000) and given the time and dedication involved in being an athlete at that level I was willing to believe that she'd never picked up a sewing needle or greased a set of muffin trays.
However, I'm now deeply suspicious of these claims. Not only did I sample some outstanding lemon cake and a very fine venison casserole but Fernando the monkey evolved from his original sock state at an alarming rate.
You may take this to mean that anyone, of any skill level can master a sock monkey. I however am off to research Scottish spies in New Zealand.
