Could not move this morning. Man flu can be sooooo debilitating.

Out into a glorious winter's day; on the bikes to the OT to do game swap; Super Mario 2 for Star Wars and PC version of Minecraft. He's happy enough. And a game of Snakes and Ladders in Waterstones. They're still largely easily amused.

Cycled back, slipping on ice, Asda for bread and pies for lunch; in to a quiet afternoon before they are repatriated this evening.

Finally we get dinner tonight; I've booked for 7.30 so hopefully I'll be back at a decent hour - ready for work to resume.... Joy of joys.
