Mixed Fortunes

It's been an odd week, during which my car was towed away and I was fined £250.00 to get it back, I had a couple of lovely days with Martin to celebrate his birthday, met my first possible prospective PHD student, proof-read Offsprog One's interview with the Chefs ex-manager who now gardens for the actor James Wilbey, and started reading the memoirs of one of the chaps who provided a photograph for the book (and they are very entertaining). I also stood for an hour listening to the boiler with a plumber this morning, listening to the boiler behaving itself impeccably with an air of innocence. How embarrassing!
