In the last few days I have had:

• 1 job offer
  
• 2 job interview invitations
  
• 3 visits from concerned neighbours (no, I don't know either)
  
• 4 plants delivered to the house (a tea rose bush, a poinsettia and two hyacinths)
  
• an offer of impregnation (courtesy of a friend's husband), an indecent amount of alcohol (ibid.), a sore throat (courtesy child of said couple), a long talk with someone I expected never to see again (of which more another time), and my body volume in roast dinners (ta A4)
  
• an unexpected change of heart...
