Well here’s a thing: my 12 year-old son Ted is in France on a school trip, my 13 year-old daughter Isobel is in Manchester overnight at her first live gig (Orla Gartland, since you ask), so I thought I would have a romantic evening with Mr Joyce.

Erm. No.

Three days ago, one of his oldest friends invited him for their first blokes’ night out in about 18 months. Soooo, it’s just me, Murray and Janowicz. Not very relaxing just at the moment at one set all, early in the third set.

Today’s beautiful picture was drawn just for my blog by Isobel’s friend Jess. She really has a skilled touch, doesn’t she? Thank you very much indeed, Jess!
