Monday (Can't Think of Clever Title)
I woke up this morning and found a sickly partner next to me so whispered “are you going to work?” and received a croaky reply “I don’t think so”. Oh dear, winter colds have started early in our house.
Departed for work after leaving Peter with water, his phone and a hot Lemsip (I can be quite a good nurse you know).
On the way to work I called into Sainsers to buy Peter a gardening magazine – I know when I’m ill I really welcome it if someone brings me something to read (even if we do have a house full of books). Whilst shopping I spotted the most divine dressing gown – it’s three quarter length, dark pink and pale pink stripes (think Bagpus!) and it is soooo soft. I just couldn't’t resist it.
Work was fine today as the catching up I had to do from being off the tail end of last week with my TOIL (time off in lieu) was easily achieved as all the bosses were at a conference.
A friend at work has lent me two books to read “The Scandal of the Season” by Sophie Gee and “Dark Fire” by C J Sansom. Clare and I have an uncannily similar taste. I once gave her a list of 10 books I recommended she read and she had already read 7 of them; recently I told her I was reading The Ghost by Robert Harris and she said ‘snap’. So I have full faith that I will enjoy her two books and now I have to take in a couple for her that she hasn’t already read!
During the morning I had an email from my friend Carol saying she’d drop an old mobile phone of hers round to our house this afternoon (it’s a replacement for Peter’s). I warned Carol that Peter was sick and that she should just pop the phone through the letter box; later in the day I received a call from Carol saying she’d tried in vain to get the phone through the letter box but it wouldn’t fit (she felt she should give up in case Peter thought there was a break-in in progress) and she resulted in flinging the phone over our fence in a plastic bag; well it solved the problem.
Now at home and Peter hasn’t really improved much so he is still in bed – there is evidence that he has emerged during the day to forage for food though so that’s good.
This evening I’m going to chill out with the soaps and do some internet surfing as there are a few things I want to look up.
Tomorrow's weather is supposed to be wild and wet so batton down the hatches folks!
Good Things Today
Work not being too bad
Being given some lovely books
Purchasing my gorgeous new dressing gown
Friend Carol making me laugh with her exploits
Bad Things Today
Peter being poorly
