It is not a happy Monday. I woke up this morning with a temperature. To go with it headache, shivering, nausea and throwing up.

I throw this type of fever fairly regularly, wake up in the middle of the night cold and shivering, throw on some more clothes and go back to sleep, wake up fine. In fact that’s what happened on Saturday night. No idea why and it’s not malaria or anything horrible just my body’s defence mechanism.

But today I feel pants, and ill but it is Monday, I’m still on probation until the end of December. So I’m writing this from the train. If I still feel awful by lunchtime then I’ll go home, but I need to show up.

The weekend was lovely, to be honest Ma and I were worried about the little one but he was lovely. Mad as a box of frogs but delightful. The big nephew was good too!

We went for a walk in the woods and although children are hard work, these two aren’t that much work. J pretty much puts himself to bed!

This week I’m going to work and sleep so I’m recovered enough to be at a 6th birthday party and the Grace 25th anniversary service.
