Wisdom at 0258

This is from Stuart, my newsreader, at about 0300.

"It's not a good time to be a freelancer these days. Mind you, it's not a good time to be anything."

And Daniel last night, just before I set off for my night shift:

me: "Can you please stop shouting at the top of your voice. You're making me deaf."
he: "Mummy, do you know sign language?"

Thank God it's snowing in Tirol.
