    They say it was really busy in my office on Tuesday too. A colleague said she vacated the desk she was using to go to a meeting, when she got back someone else was sitting there and she ended up going back home to work as there wasn’t anywhere else to sit. I’m trying to avoid Tuesdays.

    Just catching up. So sorry to hear about your dad and daughter. Wishing them a speedy recovery.
    Glad you are keeping little streams of additional money coming in.

    I write this from my bed , I have caught the sickness bug the DGD have had . I am working the joys of WFH it will be a short day though . Have had a few friends say they have Covid so that’s definitely still around . 
    Had a grand time at the theatre with the Escape to the Chateau people Angel and !!!!!! .Friend stayed over Friday night then I went to her place and stayed Saturday night . Home Sunday and had DGS2 who gave me this . His brother and sister have also been ill so DD has been rather busy . 
    Sad I won’t get outside in the sun today but worse things are happening in the world . 
    I have spent a lot of money in the last week or so need to check accounts and sort it all out .Hoping to be better tomorrow.

    Hoping you are better tomorrow too.
    It sounds as if you’ve had a great time apart from the bug…..you have taught the children how to share a bit too well. Take care 👍

    Sorry to hear you caught the bug, glad you’re a bit better though. Apparently since WFH became a thing sickness absences have gone right down.
