Esmé has been off colour all week and was off sick yesterday – she went back to nursery today but I got a call before the end of the day to say she’s got a temperature again. So that’s Esmé.

Gabe has also been suffering and was also off sick yesterday but is back on form to the point of doing a good impression of Tigger.

Olivia has been fine all week but today broke her arm in gymnastics!

Tomorrow I have all three of them at home: an ill Esmé, an Olivia with her best arm broken and a Tigger-like Gabe. All I need now is for it to throw it down and I’ll be in an asylum by the end of the day!

Worse of all: I lost my damn glasses so am half blind* to boot. Bugger.

*OK, slight exageration, but working is going to be difficult when I next have time
