Had a late start, went to McDonalds for fragile daughter then on to SIL's farm to pick up the boss. Cup of tea, followed directions from the boss to get from farm to main road, found enormous mound of tar shavings waiting to be spread into potholes in road so turned around with barely a murmur and, since we were passing anyway, sowed niece how to get the subtitles off Sky then proceeded on my (the correct) original route.
Got home, dropped boss, went shopping, came home cooked and served dinner, had wine, typed this and now off for beer. :-)
