So ... I was having a tough day, what with Cameron coming back into front-bench politics ... so I opened my computer and a message popped up that you'd sent a story.

Hopefully, the bad luck will come in 3's. And I only have one more ...

and then I saw that you had 9.7 followers. 9700 followers. And I grabbed my HB pencil (it's my hardest pencil), with every intention of stabbing myself repeatedly in the penis.

But it's cold ... you know. And he wouldn't come out. So I'll live. I've only got a minor flesh wound to the inner thigh.

Jeezuz. 9700. Claire that is stellar. I am so happy for you. And so quickly. Well done. You do deserve it though and I hope that book idea is more than an idea. God knows you've got the time with me doing most of the babysitting.

Well, ... you read my stuff to her and she falls straight to sleep, so it's practically babysitting. And I do not charge. So there is that.

Great piece. Great job.
