no no Stavros had long been safely rehomed with brother George when the freedom fighter broke the bottle a few days ago.

It's a good first sentence, isn't it?! The explanation of it is not so interesting - a friend of mine who is a freedom fighter and helps me out around the house broke a bottle of ouzo when he was fixing some plumbing in the basement. I was outside with Hazel at the time, and when I walked into the house I could smell it loud and clear! Knew exactly what had happened. I have so much ouzo, I was glad to be down one bottle.
