A lovely customer who this afternoon treated himself to me, as a Christmas present, bringing with him a box of cherry bakewells from Sainsbury’s; a whole night spent under the duvet, watching  classic CSI on Channel 5 with “Gil Grissom’s” favourite episodes and I’ve just broken open the Drambuie I bought from duty free on my way back down from Edinburgh last month. Work phone and personal phone switched off. Only my mother or the Second Coming can disturb me (that’s what she used to say).

Bliss…
