I'm just a bit offgepisst* with abbrevs., apostrophes**, little urgent jobs***, crashing docs and the general mayhem of today, so I'm off to try Jack the Lass's houmous recipe. I'll try Farli's another time - I just haven't got all the ingredients to hand.
I'll be back at my desk later trying to make up for lost time. I've got a newsletter to translate which I had planned to do this afternoon before everything slid out of control. Sigh.

*** Project Manager phones at ten to 3 [my time]: Can you do these few sentences in the next 10 minutes? I'm leaving the office at 4 [her time] and need them back before I go.
Kerensa: [Well, possibly, but I haven't had any lunch yet and I'm busting for the loo.] Certainly. [Grrr.] Leave it to me - and schönes Wochenende!
