Glad to hear that young Simon is progressing so well
You are, without doubt, finding that you have taken on the most time-consuming and far and away the most worth-while job in the whole universe.

I have been wasting the last half-hour trying to find a reference to a paper produced at Kings College, London, in c1990, which showed exactly what you have just said about cockroaches - that they are clean-living, decent insects who have acquired a totally unwarranted bad name.

(One suspects that this may be retribution for writing blank verse and hanging around with immoral cats )
