It’s Sunday! – so I don’t have to get up at some silly time, except that my daughter is coming home and the place looks like a laundry.I have no idea who I am writing this drivel for, or why.I suspect it won’t last. What do you mean “That’s a relief” ?

I once read about this guy who was always upsetting people with his emails, and he said he’d found the solution: he gave up whiskey. But I have never drunk whiskey.

I nearly did it again this evening:

I’m quite pally with a new client of mine – I clean her apartment and check the holiday renters in and out; this evening I gave her an email update about the couple who I checked out this morning – (weren’t as snooty as I first thought, and one of them works for the BBC).The owner and I had a couple of chatty emails back and forth about what a busy month it has been, and she wrote “You must be exhausted”  – actually, she said “done in”, but if I use an exact quote I could get in to trouble, couldn’t I?  Anyway, I nearly replied: If someone asked me to clean for them tomorrow, I would tell them to Fuck Off – which wouldn’t have been wise,would it?

The trouble with using swear words indirectly, is you might as well be swearing straight at the person;I have a friend who often sends me angry or frustrated texts that start off F-ing this and that, and I end up wondering what I have done to annoy her – apart from writing about her here, which she doesn’t know about, so don’t be ridiculous.

Sorry – I know you want to read more, but it’s extremely late. Bonne nuit.
