Well, I don't actually, but that's no excuse for leaving out an obscure Chilli Pepper reference.
Just got back in my house after locking myself out last night. Strange how the very same housemates who get very upset if I so much as exhale after midnight lest I wake them, completely failed to here me knocking, ringing, phoning and attempting forced entry for an entire hour last night.
Goodness knows what I looked like, trying to break in to my own house while dressed entirely in black with a long flowing overcoat. And then I return this morning, flouncing around with the same get up plus some bizarre shades I nicked from my housemate the night before, looking like a poor man's Keanu Reeves in Matrix mode. I don't think Golders Green was quite ready for that. Certainly my Rabbi's wife went into fits of laughter when I knocked on the door.
I bet Keanu doesn't get that reaction.
Credit to Jamie, for picking me up at 1.30am, taking me all the way to Friern Barnet and giving me a nice floor to sleep on.
And of course, a big Hi to the nice taxi driver who drove me back this morning.
