The Tyne

Mrs S has been at the hospital most of the day with her mum, not the news we wanted. Treatment starts on Friday and we will all keep everything crossed.

I've had my nose to the keyboard all day apart from a dog walk along the river and a quick blip. That's despite the fact that Ruby felt unwell this morning and had to be brought home from school, seeing some of the stuff that's been firing out of her nose and throat I'm not surprised she was feeling unwell.

On a comedy note, I slipped on a pug shit while I was making the dinner.

And now I am taking my Missus to that pub on the river bank there and plying her with a recuperative prosecco.
