Acton Square / Man down

So my plan was to swim at lunchtime and then take the scenic route back up to Kirkby Lonsdale. (The swimming bit went according to plan, and I took this photo on my way home.)

But then it turned out that Dan was at his mum's and feeling unwell. He had come down with a cold on the way north for Milly's birthday meal on Thursday but had a miracle recovery on Friday, when he joined us for lunch. At college on Saturday, someone mentioned a 'twenty-four hour cold' going 'round, and I thought "Oh, that's what Dan had."

However... He set off for Liverpool to visit his mate, Joe, on Friday evening, and it was sometime on Saturday when he appears to have developed tonsillitis or glandular fever or something like that.

Anyway, I amended my travel plans, picked him up as requested, and brought him home. I gave him what meds I had, enjoyed watching an episode of 'The West Wing' with him, and saw him off to bed.
