Tim Dowling: spring has sprung
I’m on the sofa with a beer, watching a show where people always end up not buying property in Mediterranean resorts

TL;DR
- The narrator observes the first spring-like day and notes his wife placing their tortoise outside.
- He later finds the tortoise has already disappeared.
- While watching a property show, he is repeatedly interrupted by his dog.
- The dog eventually drops a ball into his beer, ruining his drink.
- As the evening ends, he remembers he forgot to bring the tortoise inside.
