Lacking Inspiration

I've reached that point in the holiday when I am not sure what day of the week it is, I'm closer to the end than the start and I really should start getting my head around some prep. for the 2nd of September.

Another lovely lunch with another lovely former colleague today. Two hours of chat, quite a bit of gossip and lovely food - the most productive part of the day - which I think has been a Friday ...
