Snowdrops and scabious

In our front garden. I went back to work today. Not feeling amazing, but the paracetamol helps the muscle ache. There's a lot of sickness around.

I was going to walk home, but only got as far as the traffic lights 500 yards from school when I realised this was too much for me. So I whiled away some time in Wilko's buying Fishermen's Friends before catching the bus home.

When I got back, I found the nurse at my GP practice had phoned. I rang back, but she hasn't returned my call. I'd love to know what she had to say, even if it's just telling me to pull up my socks.

One good thing is that I've tapped into a huge network of jigsaw enthusiasts, via work and a former nursery pupil. They even like the Colin Thompson puzzles from Ravensburger and Schmidt. These colourful puzzles depict worlds within worlds, and are among my favourites.
