Mike's musings

Nannying

Moo headed off to Ipswich around 0900, after Mel arrived at 0830. We'd been up a lot of the night with Jo: not quite sure why, but she was sleeping very badly. Mel had been quite ill yesterday - a nasty migraine (her first, it appears), and she said that she wasn't feeling great.

At 0945, Mel called up the stairs, and I came down. She was feeling awful, so of course I sent her home. Left me in charge of Jo all day, which was lovely, but didn't do much for my work plans. Of course, given that Jo was awake most of the night, she would, of course, sleep well during the day. Not a bit of it. 15 minutes first time, more like 10 second time. In fact, I did get some work done, and a good thing, too. Busy, of course, as one would be.

Went for a walk (saw a horse, some sheep and a tractor), made a card-type thing for Mel, went to the swings, slide and roundabout (a little lad called Dale nearly had an apoplectic fit when she went onto the swings), made some fairy cakes and the rest.

Moo got back at 1700, and took over, so I had a chance to do some more work, which was a relief. Jo's not been well either - she had a temperature by the time Moo came back - but she's gone down well tonight, and we're hopeful of a good night tonight.
