ME: What are you doing?
@Patroclus: Thing about geoploitical implications for Finnish energy companies' IT systems.
ME: Ah.
Pause.
@Patroclus: What are you doing?
ME: Outline for that CBeebies thing, about a caterpillar.
@Patroclus: Ah.
Pause.
Suddenly:
ME: OH THIS IS TOO HARD!
I storm upstairs. After a while:
@Patroclus: Can I have a bath after you?
ME: GOD, WHATEVER, YES, FINE.
Half an hour later:
ME: I'm finished in the bath now, and I think.... I think, I've cracked the caterpillar outline.
@Patroclus: That's good, I've nearly done the Finnish thing now.
ME: OH WHO CARES ABOUT YOUR SORDID BUSINESS WORLD I'VE BEEN MAKING ART.
'DUGGEE' begins this September, on CBeebies.
