Everyone else is getting ready to party and going out because it’s Friday night. One of life’s little joys, and particularly holiday joys, is choosing to stay in. I went out on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights, and this evening had aperitifs with the last rays of the glorious sunshine. Shunning pressure from the city, I now choose to hang around in pyjamas watching ABC iview – and it feels like a luxury!
