A Disturbed Night

Odi turned up on the doorstep at 2 in the morning, dressed for an African summer. She and Peter have had a spat. She's still in the front room sleeping it off. I don't know what we'll do with her.

Money seems to be the prblem. Peter holds the purse strings and won't give Odi any spends. They've been cold-shouldering one another- which is how they handle disagreement- all over Christmas.

Old Spice

We've been sorting out our kitchen. Most of our herbs and spices have gone in the bin. The oldest in the collection passed its use by date in 1996.
