Got home from a crap day to find the builders still faffing around in my kitchen with little change, the news that one of the dogs had done a smelly and fishy poo in the sitting room (the au pair had thrown out some fish and failed to tie up the bin bag, so they have eaten four pieces of out of date cod..hmmm!) that the au pair is leaving...(actually, a good thing!..a strain hiding the fact that some nights it's fun not to sleep at all...and she broke so many things, DVD player, washing machine, hoover and favourite picture...)

And why does wine taste so nice at 5.30pm?

Feel lovely and mellow now.....
