“Home is where we should draw our strength.  Though as life goes on, it is increasingly the place where we recuperate.  In the happenings of the larger world beyond, there seems to be a delight in distress and uncertainty which I cannot share.  Protection among the things that I know and love has become required security”……….”the kind of house where you can comfortably reach the end of your thether/ give-up/ pass  out/pretend your day happened to someone else instead of you”………..Simon Blow

This hasn’t been one of those days, it has been one of those weeks.  So for dinner this evening I pampered myself.    I made spicy garlic shrimp  with caesar salad.  Maybe it is a good thing that Carl is working out of town.
