just what the doctor ordered

today started well with a lie-in then the lawnmower actually working, went downhill badly (that was to do with me cooking lunch and feeling cross and then remembering that I don't cook lunch on Saturdays...they tricked me again, the buggers!), hit the bottom of the barrel when I saw the children's bathroom (it was the hairdryer hanging out of the window that was the final straw), went back uphill when I discovered that Quinoa is nice, reached the point of ecstasy when daughter1 ate quinoa (even though she didn't know what it was) and then was all nice and nicey with a few hours at the lido, a martini on the new patio and then gardening til darkness prevented me carrying on.
