This comments section is the first time I've felt even a shred of hope in eight days.

For a second, I thought "hold on - we haven't had a family existential crisis since Christmas", and then noticed the haggis. And now that's all I can worry about.

That might be a bit optimistic.

Ah.

Well, at least it’s nearly the weekend, eh?
