Google has a lot to answer for: while researching our Jersey holiday, Wilson has come across some disturbing news — another asteroid is due to strike (ie miss) Earth on Friday April 13th 2029. It's called 99942 Apophis.
W has calculated that he will be 21 years old by then, so he doesn't intend to rush into digging a bunker in the garden like last time. Instead, he envisions a large underground structure consisting of several rooms, topped by a stone folly.
Unlike his previous shelter, he assures me that the new underground asteroid refuge will be large enough to accommodate himself plus Antony and Antony's small toy anteater.
'And you, New Dad!' he added as an afterthought. Well, that's nice to know.
Right now he's in the garden, surveying.
