Now *this* is better!
Today has been so much better than the last few days, it seems quite unreal. I still didn’t manage to get up until lunchtime, but I did manage to stay upright long enough to shower, vacuum the kitchen, feed the dogs, water the plants, sit outside and read to the kids… I even went out for a while late in the afternoon, leaving Scratchy in charge. One of the things I did to distract myself in the last few days was google for organic box schemes - you know, where they deliver a box of seasonal fruit and veg every week? - well, there aren’t any in this area, but clicking through several sites did lead me to the website of an organic farm and shop which is just a few miles away, so I took a trip up there this afternoon. I didn’t buy much - we didn’t need much - but the boys pronounced the strawberries fantastic. “Just picked this morning,” said the woman in the farm shop as she put my purchases in a bag. “And they’ll be polished off this evening,” I replied. I wasn’t wrong.
Got the dogs out for a walk too, after dinner. They’ve been pretty neglected this week.
Just as well I’m healthier; we’ve a trip to the zoo planned for tomorrow (booked with a group, so not easy to move), and also Scratchy’s coming down with what I had
