middle aged and middle class driving way too fast on country lanes drop the kid at school group yoga then the pool prosecco and wealth envy over lunch on to a manicure and then hair (you won’t believe who I saw there) send conspiratorial text or two; update facebook get some vino, and the kid - shoot back home knock back another glass of wine; have a gossip on the phone revving engine on the driveway: dinner’s bell pour a cobra; grab a takeout menu domestic bliss? suburban hell?
