The boy had to get out early
this morning, which meant I stepped in to deliver the papers, and on the round I
was musing on the significance of our transposed roles today – me with the paper
round and him going off to work – which led me to notice that, now he is
sixteen, his age and mine currently form a transposed pairing for the first (and
last) time; and these two numbers do make a good pair, particularly useful to me as a point
of conversion between temperature scales on the weather reports, with 16⁰
Celsius (meaningless) equivalent to 61⁰ Fahrenheit (pleasantly warm).
