I took myself to work and chatted with Sara, who had returned after a couple of days off last week. We both believe that the emails are finally slowing down now, and today was the first day that we would really be able to tell how busy the phones would be, as the children are (mostly) back at school.
Nicola was exceptionally noisy today, and I really had a hard time working with the background of hacking coughs, sniffs, sneezing and loud yawns. As she now sits just behind me, the irritation was immense. Thankfully, I could use my loop earplugs to block out a lot of the noise, but why not just use a tissue? She's an adult woman, for heaven's sake, not a toddler! It was bliss to leave at 4:00pm and escape to the quiet of my car!
Keith had prepared dinner tonight and chopped up all the vegetables for the bubble and squeak. We cooked the Yorkshire puddings separately, and he carved the chicken. Before we ate, we played cards with our new Ypres playing cards. They are different to the ones we normally use, with V for Jacks, D for Queens and R for Kings. The aces are also marked as "1"!
After dinner, Keith and I indulged in a new episode of The Capture from series 3, which ended last night. It looks very promising!
