I’d just tried to walk them on Highbury Fields, as I’d been to view a flat, but to my horror discovered all the parkland enclosed by railings is now a No Dog Zone, with a fine of £80 if you dare to take a dog inside. So. Back to the drawing board.

‘How about The Pig hotel in Cornwall?’ ‘Isn’t Cornwall a bit far?’ This is someone who drove to France for a party. ‘No! But everyone would have to pay their own way: I’m not making that mistake again.’ ‘OK.’ Then he said, ‘I still have the Save the Date cards from last time I asked you to marry me.

I could move there.’ I had visions of getting to London after a six-hour drive to find a dirty litter tray and laundry everywhere; he’s a bit Greta Thunberg about tumble dryers. There are so many stiff pairs of Levi’s on radiators, his flat is like the bottom half of a Van der Graaf Generator concert, circa 1971.

I unloaded the puppies and my bag and went into the bathroom to lay out my cosmetics and creams and brushes as I always do: as if I am about to perform open heart surgery. No light.

‘I wasn’t sure what they were.’ Who, without a job, spends over a week in a tiny flat and doesn’t investigate three empty pouches of organic dog food? I let the dogs out into his ‘garden’, which is worse than ever.

The next day, I had breakfast with a female colleague in a trendy new place on Piccadilly. It was full of go-getters all eating avocado and brokering deals.
