Take one very comfortable lounge and footrest.
Sit on the aforementioned with a small person on either side of you and an excitable dog at your feet.
Raise a steaming cup of tea in an elegant china cup to your lips.
Listen to the audiobook of House at Pooh Corner, specifically the chapter on 'Pooh Sticks'. This version and this version only.
Roll-about laughing with the smalls after safely stashing the tea.
Improvise a game of 'Kipper sticks'.
Vain attempt by the smalls to throw the dog into a puddle.
Feel a lightening of the spirit and an absence of Reds.
Thanks, Pooh.
