No doubt some kind of express train from hell will burst out of nowhere soon and revise everything, but for the moment “ everything is good. I got a lot of things done this weekend “ tidied the garden up, tidied my wreck of an online life up, washed up any number of times, took the kids to the big playpark in town, bought nice food, and even survived a trip into town in good spirits where I arrived at a cashpoint, and discovered we had no money left sigh.
