Scratch the hat. I'll work miracles and finish it tomorrow. This melancholy could be linked to sleep deprivation (let's face it, my sleep patterns have been just that bit erratic), so I'm off to bed!

Sian and I, after much texting, have agreed that the issue of my return to Ireland is a subject that requires much time and thought. It certainly isn't something to be taken lightly. Anyway, I really am off to bed now. Honest. I really am.
