Thursday evening at home, all was quiet. The boys were asleep, and my wife was at the cinema watching a Botoxed American actress pretending to be a British single mother being pursued by a chiselled 20-something. There had been talk of reheating a lasagne but I had better ideas. I popped some thinly sliced sourdough into the toaster and reached to the back of a cupboard for a small white pot.

And its demise makes me feel a little mournful.
