A little bit better today and he rose earlier this morning. We did some shopping as we may not have the car for a few days. 
I'm reading a bit of a gruesome detective novel at the moment, don't know why!, and when I nipped out for a bit of a circular walk I saw a floating duck with its head broken and a seagull tearing it's innards out in brutal manner. The book and seagull act were very similar, eeugh!!! Now I must watch something funny I think, shake badness from my mind.
