Feeling VERY sorry for myself!!

Not sure the picture really captures it - perhaps should have done full body shot so you could see I was wearing jogging bottoms even though I wasn't playing sport - I need to be very ill for that to happen... :D - mind you, it meant I fitted in better at KFC where I got some dinner (well, you say brunch, so what's the name for a meal eaten at 4pm - can't call it Arfternoon Tea when it's KFC, can I???). Got value box for £2.99 but still couldn't finish the fries - leaving food is another sure-fire way of telling that I'm proper poorly (did I say that yesterday?).
Anyway, had very lazy Sunday as a result - not much work done, hopefully time this morning before first lesson of the day at midday. Bonus is that Pearson are not sending chapters back to authors because they are too close to deadlines, so that's one big job off the list (they'll probably rewrite it and dumb it down big time, but hey-ho, I tried - and they are trying to sell books, not raise standards... and sadly I think "dumbed down" sells better...). At the end of the day, it's my name on the cover that matters :D
Also managed to finish watching The Theory of Everything... I have never cried so much in a film - 4-5 times? At one point it wasn't just a little tear like usual, I was proper sobbing!! So many poignant moments, hard to pick out one or two - but obviously when Stephen was in the garden of Buckingham Palace and he looks at his kids running about and "says" to Jane "look what we made" struck quite a chord!! (crying again just writing that!) But also thinking of my tutee whose Dad has MND and has been given months to live made it hard to watch...
