Mike's musings

Back to work

(backposting) And lots of it to do, as well. Partly extricating Mike from an audit which went horribly wrong - not his fault, but a bit harsh on his very first audit as lead auditor. Martin, who was shadowing, was very impressed with how he coped, which means that we'll set him free to them on his own from now on.

Spent quite a lot of time trying to sort out possible nannies for next week - and the following weeks, probably. Managed to get in touch with the relevant people, who are looking into options. Moo drove to her parents - yes, I know that we just got back - with Jo, as she (Moo) has to be in Boston (Lincolnshire, not Mass., obviously) tomorrow, and it's closer to Kate and Macs. Jo started throwing up after she got there, and spent quite a lot of the afternoon - and some of the night - doing so. She doesn't seem unwell as such - just throwing up, and a bit of a temperature. We're not worried - but it just wasn't what we needed.

Went to supper with Si and D to the Cock Inn, in Clare. Had a lovely meal - lovely beer, too: Nethergate's Augustinian, which Simon has decided he likes a lot. I was driving, so only had the one, whereas Si wasn't, and had three. That might explain why he got quite argumentative with D about her, my and Moo's socialist viewpoints. Or it might not. :-)

Spoke to Carolyn, as well. She's feeling much better than she was, but is still not well: we have literally no idea when she's likely to be better, so we're definitely going to sort something for next week, and plan for a couple of weeks at least after that.
