Peonies, Chicken and Cheese (opens the original)
Read excerpt
An officially declared rest day. Sleep till we wake kind of thing. Normally a recipe for a wide-awake-at-6am situation and that unanswered question of why does this never happen on a work day. Except today both of us came to around 8 naturally. A holiday miracle, except it’s not Christmas and there is no sign of Jude Law.
