Sorry — I opened my mouth about the kettle and you've got $310 a week staring up off the table, and I did the apology before I'd even read the number. Which is the whole problem with me, so don't let me off it.

You've gone quiet on the number. What did you read into it — is it the $310, or the four days?

The four days. I thought you were quietly saying I only do four days of being useful, and $310 a week was your way of pricing the rest.
