I was hoping, what with it being summer holiday season, my drive to work would be a little less painful. Despite living only 13 miles from work, some days it can take over an hour. Thank you A40!

My hopes have been ruined! ‘They’ seem to have decided now is a good time to do road works on my usual roads! Until September!! I really do usually like August, when it can take me only 20 minutes to get work. Not this time. Damnit is all I can say.

Oh, and I still have the very attractive cold. It’s not developed into a ‘hack-your-lungs-out’ cough. It is very attractive.
