But I’m determined to make up for it.  I clocked off from work just before lunch time today.

Yellow was the perfect colour to wear today.  It was just the visual lift I needed as I drove along the grey slickness of the unnaturally quiet roads to work and then up the grey concrete of the car park ramps.

And refuelled with a combination of healthy and not so healthy food and beverage before hitting the road to run errands on the way home.  I think everyone had the same idea because I’ve never seen my local shops so full of people also trying to cope with the fact that the shops were closed yesterday, open today and closed again tomorrow.

And then there was the small matter of trying to stock the house with toddler friendly indoor entertainment.  Thanks again, Aldi!  I owe you.  Again.

Jobs done, it was deep exhalations all the way up the driveway and in the front door.  I’ll be straight with you, I’ve now been in my pyjamas since 3pm.

Pottering away and eating Hot Cross Buns.

Three whole days stretch out in front of me (counting my normal day off), but first, sleep.
