that following a sleepless night and an early start to the morning in order to meet a deadline, your favourite translator was found still to be in her pyjamas at 5 p.m. Noting that she had no particular reason to bother getting dressed at this late hour, she finished a couple of emails, faffed about on Facebook and was just considering what to cook for supper before having an early night when the phone rang.

Kerensa: Hello?

Voice: Hello Kerensa, this is P, your friendly vicar. We have a meeting of the thingummybob committee this evening starting at 8 p.m.

Kerensa [darts a look at the clock]. So that'd be 5 minutes ago then? Ah, you'd better give me 15 minutes and I'll be there.

Gentle reader, I could barely dress for laughing so hard. I attempted to drag my hair out of its bad hair day mode and make it look as if I had been dressed for the past 13 hours.

I think I got away with it: I got there in 10 minutes. I'm just off to reaquaint myself with my jimjams now. I can't be bothered to write up the minutes of the meeting.
