#duvets
There’s a phenomenon; happens at night. Apparently it’s a lot to do with the turning of the earth and bedclothes… You know? Both the duvet and what I call the dog barrier! That’s an old throw. Sure, I have to believe what I’m told. But every night there’s a real fight and amidst it I do try to keep hold. … But every morning it seems I wake up shivering and left out in the cold… I mentioned it to 'the others' in a gentle and incidental kind of way. The dog wasn’t bothered. He was busy having HIS day. And my missus, with no remorse, said glibly, and probably without thinking... "It’s the centrifugal force!" So there you have it!… The duvet I mean… Or rather you don’t!
