hoovering almost as good as meditating!

When Christmas gets to you and your peace of mind is shattered, get Henry out and as he busies about sucking up the bits of jigsaw puzzle and cracker contents you may rediscover the peace of mind which got lost under the Christmas arrangements.  But watch out, he has a mind of his own and as you are rediscovering the simple pleasure of hoovering and going for the long wire, he suddenly stops and the rest of him won't come round that corner and you have to go back and persuade him by straightening out the wire and coaxing him into position.  He is your mantra while you hoover, you depend on him to keep a singleness of attention.  Clearly he has his problems too because he tunes in rapidly to yours and he knows just how to trigger your irritations and equally how to soothe them.  Let Henry test your powers of detachment, he knows what it is to be connected!
