I was trapped in the tropical paradise of the Maldives and everything was going exactly to plan.

This photo, and all the others in this post, courtesy of Danny. Last week, my friend Danny emailed me about writing a guest post for the blog. This delighted me, because it meant that I’d get to spend today eating cookie bars and watching daytime television. Also, I got to read something that Danny had written, which is pretty wonderful in and of itself.
