Hard Place

In today's highlights: TallGirl found a pretty rock outside, CarbBoy mainly had ketchup for dinner, and we all had a lecture on Hammurabi's law code (though I might have been dozing on an oven glove through the most exciting bits).

Mainly though I was just very pathetically poorly; as well as the sandpapered throat from yesterday, someone has injected acid into all my joints (even my jaw hurts), sucked all the liquid (excepting the joint acid) out of my body and probably sandpapered the back of my eyeballs too. Happily my family is very capable of feeding itself, and I was still in a fit state to feed the dishwasher, so all is well.

Tomorrow I have to understand our new format French accounts (why oh why do things have to change?), make some attractively coloured pie charts and come up with some jokes for my speech on Tuesday night. Some days I love my life a little less than other days.
