Leap day

Today is our bonus day, our one 'free' day in every 4 years so we can treat ourselves to something special. I'll not be taking up St Patrick's offer of making some poor bloke a marriage proposal but I will be taking this afternoon off and visiting Chelsea Physic Garden, that well known West London 'secret' and a perfect destination for a mid-week jaunt.
The recent warm weather has revived my gardening interests so I shall be looking for inspiration and a good cup of tea and slice of cake. The Tangerine Dream Cafe promises to deliver and I hope it will be less jammed than the now legendary Petersham Nurseries Cafe. Something simple and home made will suffice - I can't begin to imagine the pressure of maintaining a Michelin-starred cafe service in an albeit charming, greenhouse venue.
Some economists have suggested that if everyone works today then the extra day's productivity could help tip us out of recession - ha ! As a freelancer, I know full well that I'm not being paid today so no opportunity cost calculations for me.
I wish you a happy free day - enjoy!
