Looking down the barrel of day 6 of revolting humidity, driving rains and searing heat. Mr Woog is currently enjoying some down time on the slopes of Japan while I watch the garden go mental and look after our increasing family of animals.

My mum is coming into "help" me today - it always turns out to be the other way around. But she will cook for me so that is good.

Is is strange that I dreamt that son H (now 6) featured on the runway in the Paris Shows??? must stop watching America's Next Top Model in bed.

Taking J to Ballet now - the thought of heading back out into the humidity sends shivers.
