    Alternatives are available. Today I had a baguette with bacon, brie and cranberry. It was lovely.

      Weekends definitely need an extra day.

      It's actually been proven* that those of us the wrong side of 40 are more efficient if we work 3 days a week.


      *maybe not proven, but I read it somewhere

        On the BBC, so it must be true.

            Or pay for 3 days at an increased rate. (worked for me!)

              Good thinking!

              Next step: five days at an increased rate

              No, hang on, then we're back where we started, though with more money

                    Bacon and egg rolls are also an option, or variations there-on.

                      Grey, damp start out; it's rained a lot overnight

                      I presume this is the beginning of the Indian summer the Met Office has been forecasting for this week
