Poppy

A poppy in German is "ein Mohn" and so a is poppyseed.

I went back to work today and had a long and very busy day.  I have a really tricky problem to solve and it's not yielding many clues as to what the cause is.  9 hours of trying to crack that nut has given me a headache that is not going away.

Good news on the Moot front.  He managed to get up the stairs to G's office under his own steam today.  And back down again.  His blood tests at the vet show that his blood sugar is normal but not high and he is really anaemic.  There will be another appointment in 2 weeks to see if things have stabilised and/or improved.
