Keeping On

Still here - ha, ha!! Feeling rotten but think it's probably just something insignificant - half the children in the kids' classes are off so I've decided to settle for that. We're off to Scotland in a couple of weeks for the half-term holiday. I'm really, really looking forward to it and just focussing on feeling well for that. It's more than a tonic going up to the Highlands - just so beautiful at this time of the year - the colours are fabulous and the air so cold and clean that I can't fail to feel well.

Off to parent-teacher consultations this evening - it'll be lovely to see how Martha's settled at school and how Ed is managing Year One with all its rigours! Here's hoping they're doing ok - they certainly rush happily in every morning which must count for something.
