But by mid afternoon things are not looking so relaxed and there's a shedload of stuff that's appeared from nowhere
It's 7pm and I have put my phone on silent and powered down the computer. I am pecking at the screen of my tablet to put this post up one letter at a time and I’m on a countdown to opening the chocolate o'clock box.
