Poor Mr G is still poorly, generally feeling rough, very tired and with added diarrhoea 🙁 He is insisting on going outside to the compost loo so I am spending ten minutes each time worrying about whether he is ok out there. He spent most of today asleep on the sofa and says he feels better today than he did yesterday but I don’t believe him. It sounds a lot like whatever I had in December 2013 which lasted 2 days so I am hoping he awakes tomorrow feeling better although I suspect he will feel weak and blurgh for a couple more days before being fully back to normal.
So that set the tone for today really – we had planned to do some houseplot digging with Big Dave but I didn’t really want to leave Ady alone and didn’t really want to do the digging without him either. So I spent the morning making marmalade – my first ever attempt. I’ve only used half the bargain oranges I bought off Jinty but have run out of jars. Vikki said she had some for me so I will collect them tomorrow and maybe make some orange curd too. I also made some yoghurt, some bread and some wraps for lunch. And started getting dinner prep done in daylight – so a full day stood in the kitchen area really.
The kids did lots of online stuff, Scarlett and I watched some youtube videos that had been doing the rounds on facebook – dead shark being cut open by loud American family on beach to deliver three baby sharks, man with CP who makes amazing art by using an old typewriter, dolphin who is caught in  fishing line and comes up to some divers and gets untangled, that sort of thing.
Big Dave came over after lunch for a cup of tea and chat, then headed off to do some more wood collecting having offered to help if there was anything he could do. I brought in firewood and Davies & Scarlett fed the animals. Ady did eat a tiny bit of dinner but left the table early to sleep more on the sofa and then went off to bed. The kids watched TinTin and they have gone off to bed fairly early too. Hoping it is Ady specific and he is better tomorrow.
hope he is back strong and well very soon x
