You may ask, how do I know any of that?
Simples. I missed two buses, decided to go to Wetherspoon's to while away an hour or so before the next bus. A person sitting in a booth hailed me, and Lo! It was my friend J. I sat in the booth with her and Beatrice gazed down on us benignly.

Beatrice, I salute you!
Rest of the week: flu fair to middling, frequently fatigued.
Solo stint in the office for two days: veering Westerly

So glad it's now my weekend. Big mistake to try to run the office on my own, deputising for everyone, while having flu. Next week will be a slight improvement, in that I will no longer be ill.
