After decades of domestic abuse, I finally got my ex-husband out of the house. I never wanted to see him again. So I put all his remaining possessions into a storage unit, paid for one month and took the key to his solicitor. I love storage units (Housing crisis drives £1bn-a-year boom in UK self-storage, 17 May).

• As ministers consider putting facial recognition on the police’s body-worn cameras (Report, 16 May), why don’t they go the whole hog and connect them to a chatbot? Enter a few key words or phrases and you have the offence identified and charge sheet written. Huge saving in time and paperwork.

• Marina Hyde looms large in the many reasons I read the Guardian, but I was flummoxed by her piece on ITV’s This Morning, which I have never seen (16 May). I have heard of Phil, though I’m not sure how, but I’ve no idea who Holly is. This is because I don’t watch TV in the morning – I read my paper then. Am I missing something?

• A friend used to have a cat she named Darling, to enjoy calling him back in at night (Letters, 16 May). She’s a Guardian letter writer, so I’m amused that she hasn’t yet joined in with this line of correspondence. Still embarrassed, Judy?

• One of the repeated dance instructions at my FitSteps class is: “Toe, toe, heel. Toe, toe, heel.” Makes me think that Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz is calling her dog.
