Context: I used to write weekly emails to my children. This is an extract from one written when I was on holiday.

Characters:
Jake: my number 1 egg
Roger: my husband

It was Jake’s birthday today. I forgot to send a card. Roger said to tell him that it was in a pile with his Mother’s Day Card.

We are having a lovely time and not a single cross word between us, although there were a few choice ones from Roger when he discovered that the After Sun I had packed had glitter in it.

I came, I wrote, I conquered. That last bit might not be true, but at least I am putting up a good fight.
