Can you guess what the joke was?

Cabbage uneaten on his plate, Ben about to spit his out laughing...

It seems Agu is in that phase. I remember my cousin going through it for quite some time.

Meanwhile, the slightly strange but unrelated smell in the cellar, (that was definitely not my artist in resident's acids for etching as he is away in the U.K.) did not become apparent until the boys were in bed and I checked out the washing. I had already had to call a plumber today to fix the hot water as it's now not quite warm enough for cold showers in the morning. He made a quick job of it thank goodness. But no, the freezer had somehow turned itself off and I have had to throw everything away. I am as gutted as the freezer. I need a shower. Actually, maybe a cold one is in order.
