Things to do on maternity leave when you're braindead

- I'm writing a novel
- Yes, me neither

I had thought that while I was on maternity leave I was going to write a novel.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Or in parent parlance, Ha ha bonk. (That, as Ahlberg fans will know, was the sound of me laughing so hard my head fell off.) Write a novel? I didn't even have time to read one.
