My initial jollity at the thought of this place being half empty has given way to the usual boredom. There are fewer people here now than there were this morning and I have to confess to being rather less than fully motivated. I am looking forward to my week off so much that time is moving slowly backwards.

That said, I am resolved to leave at about 16.00 of the clock. I just need to slide through the hour or so until that time.

It does not help that I am baking hot. I seem to be radiating so much heat that the plant next to my desk is wilting. I think my lunchtime sandwich may have had more carbohydrates in it than I thought. Or the heating in here is unfeasibly high for the time of year. I wouldn’t put it past them: bleating on about energy efficiency and carbon targets while all the time cranking the boiler up to eleven.

Or I might be fighting something off. I don’t feel unwell or anything, but the past couple of days I have been very congested, so suddenly radiating heat on an industrial scale may be linked to that. I hope not; being poorly is only to be used as an excuse to sag off work not, by preference, something to be indulged in when there is a legitimate reason for not leaving the old homestead.

So it's three squirty where you are, and you have half an hour left. Boo hiss jealousy etc. I have the whole sodding day ahead here in the pest centre. Have a lovely week, lucky lad.

My youngest granddaughter caught "Germans in my tummy, Grandma" so she spent two days lying on my sofa and wilting in her own heat. Then she sneezed. Just once but it covered the lower half of her face with a curtain of snot. I have never seen a sneeze like it. I could wax quite lyrical about it but my own stomach was churning as I quickly removed oceans of the gloop from her face - four tissues worth of snot from her face and nose just so she could open her mouth and then I held a tissue under her nose and said "blow".
Today has been my recovery day.
