daisy worked her first ever 9-hour shift today and spent the whole way up in the car delivering a monologue of anger about it to her dad. she was fine as usual though. bee says he’ll miss those diatribes when shes older.

I think I may have caught the cold/flu or whatever it is that my colleagues insisted on bringing to work this week. why don’t folk stay at home when they’re ill? I’m hoping this goes away overnight...
