There's just the right amount of bacon, it's not too salty, the crust is a crunchy, golden brown, and the consistency is not too gooey or claggy. Perfect.
Like when you get back to work, after being away on sick leave, and find that your office HAS been thoroughly cleaned, as requested. Or when the jacket that you wanted is on sale - in exactly your size and the colour you wanted. When you just make it in time to the cafe downstairs to get a bacon and egg muffin with cheese (10:30am cut-off just like Maccas!) Or when the right Williams sister wins. Especially when someone tells you that you look pretty and that your eyebrows are nice, when you are feeling a bit average and in need of a wax. But mostly when you lie in bed at night, look across at your husband, who is ready another one of his crazy, esoteric books on agriculture or something, smile, and realise you are happy.
If you are wondering what all this talk of pies and life is about, let me explain. I have been at home sick for the past week and a half, so clearly have had too much time cooped up alone and am going a bit loopy. A few days back at work ought to set me straight again.
I was gonna say you weren't sounding like the sister I know! I'm glad your office was cleaned properly. I might have to do a sleepover that weekend S is away - sounds like you could do with a dose of me!

Your office gets cleaned when you're away? Mine gets more work piled in it when I'm not looking, let alone when I'm away!

Yes, but they kinda had to, as I'd put in a formal request on account of the fibres and crap from the soundproofing they had installed the week before (which they had not properly cleaned then) giving me bronchitis. I have a rather acute allergy to dust, which in most cases is fine, but building works or mega chemicals and stuff doesn't agree with me.
Also, I am the OH&S rep for my floor at work and am a bit of a pain (have you guessed?), so I think that helped. Being academic staff also helps!
