sugar

Woke up this morning to a headache and very mucky Klute feet (which I have just realised I have not yet washed). I was not so bad as to need to deploy my emergency Harri phone call to work - not that she would have been much good, she poured smoothie into her tea this morning - and I made it in for 9.30am. Vast amounts of sugar and tea got me through the day. First thing I saw when I got home was a homemade bow and arrow. Nikki is going to a party dressed as Diana (virgin goddess, not princess). I attempted to teach S and H a line from Hippolytus, directed at Artemis - "Potnia, Potnia, Semnotata" - with middling results.

Chuckled to myself at work today, upon seeing the following quote on the front of a guide to special holidays in Devon and Cornwall: "When they say 'special', that's exactly what you get." Also on W-Spotted this morning, Mrs Prince, buying a guidebook to Crakow. NOT on W-Spotted today is Nicola Jones, who "forgot" to come and visit me.

WORK NOW. God.
