Cock-a-doodle-doo! Off goes the organic alarm clock, paying no heed to the clocks going back… another hour in bed affords the opportunity to veg out and watch a snippet of the Casino DVD. It’s not long though before I the call of nature takes over…

Sadly I am now operating under a yellow card caution for any mucoid plaque talk. Anything gastrointestinal doesn’t get my partner off to a good start so discretion is the better part of valour. Waving around a plastic tray of glutinous, globular gut goo that I’ve fetched out of the loo will earn me a red card for sure!

So, nothing for it. I must fly under the radar and chopstick this mornings contribution out of the pan in silence! Hard to conatin my glee though as for the third day running another piece of plaque sees the light of day for the first time.
