My friend Kerry is a real go-getter. It feels to me as though she’s forever buying a new apartment, upgrading it and selling it off for more than she paid. It kind of infuriates me because she’s lucky enough to be in the position to do this), yet she never stays in one place long …
According to the official stats, the appliance that uses the most energy around the home is the tumble dryer. The humble, innocuous, helpful tumble dryer. So innocent. So demure. And all the while it’s been draining us of money. A kick right in the back. Apart from that, the ones to look out for are fridge-freezers …

Anyway, I dreamed that I fell out of a plane after accidentally hitting the ejector seat (sucks when you get put in that seat on flights, but at least it …
‘Miasma’. That was the word on my calendar for today. This word-of-the-day thing sounded like a total fad when I unwrapped that present at Christmas, but it’s actually been a really fun challenge.
