I’ve been doing the weekly shop with my bicycle and the cannibalized cycle trailer of the Atkinson-Bateman children, with a giant plastic tub bungied to the top.

Tonight’s grocery shop ended up being too big to contain, which necessitated some creative extra-bungie.

This reminds me of the time our Nissan Sentra was squeezed on the ferry John Hamilton Gray outside the vehicle decks, in the middle of winter. We were certain that the car was going to end up at the bottom of the Northumberland Strait.

Fortunately, both Sentra and toilet roll survived their journeys.
