Caffeine intake: Starbucks latte (hardly counts as
coffee), 3 cups of tea
Days since stopped smoking: 1,169 (excellent)
Stray hairs plucked: a small forest's worth (gah!)
Kilometres walked: 8

Alarm screams at 7am. Hit the snooze button.
07.05 Bleeping alarm again. OH opens eyes, asks “Why’ve you gone half a loo roll wrapped round your leg?”, then goes back to sleep.

Get up, turn on light in No.1’s bedroom, shower, kick him out of bed….
Hey ho! Another day, another Drachma (oops, sorry, Euro).

Consider yesterday's choice of office outfit. Nah. Today is definitely NOT a green floral shirt & jeans day. Drag out smart pinstripe trousers and black top with funky necklacey type thing (trousers feeling decidely loose around waist - excellent!). Leave house feeling the very image of post-modern, supercool, professional yummy mummy.

Work passes in a blur of e-mails, internet connection problems, crashing computers, and online Radio 4 for intellectual stimulation (am dead high-brow, me).

Autumn is here but the office thinks it's still summer. Air conditioning on full blast. Toes & nose frozen. Have to cross arms over chest to hide CNS (Chilled Nipple Syndrome). CNS cured the minute I leave the building. Train ride and station-to-home walk later, forehead & frozen nips are coated in sweat - v. attractive.

OH is home before me - again (but dishes I ignored last night still waiting in the sink).

Shoes off, jeans on. Fix healthy couscous with veg (in Domestic Goddess mode, despite dishes rotting to my left). Eat, and add to the Leaning Tower of Pizza Plates. Tomorrow will put Martha whatserface to shame with creativity and neatness in kitchen.

Tonight, vino, OH and a crappy movie...
