Back to work.

Jools' cough is slightly better, but not good enough for her to risk going swimming, so we can lay in to nearly six before getting up.

It is dark outside for about another hour, so the cats are fed, coffee made and we do our usual morning rituals until its time for Jools to leave for work and me to set the office up.

Not much to report if I'm honest.

Work is work, and there are signs of improvement.

For that there is a meeting with our interim manager's manager. He says the right things, but his words ring hollow. But there is an action plan, and it seems there is detirmination to do something.

We shall see.

My friend and colleague, Rune, has gone to Brazil for two weeks to do a series of audits, so there is just Henrik to talk to.

It was supposed to be a cloudy, if dry day. So it was a surprise to have two hours of heavy rain through the morning, then there was bright sunshine.

I was getting a little cabin fever, so played hooky from two and went out for a walk, just to get some steps in. Just the usual walk up and down the four roads on our estate. I saw no one to talk to, nor nothing to take a shot of. My back complained all the way, but I got it done, and arrived home just as large drops of rain began to fall, with me getting back inside before another downpour began.

I got a shot or two as the dark storm cloud passed over, and bright sunlight emerged low in the west.

Dinner was a simple meal of minced beef crispbakes, corn and peas and curried rice.

Yummy.

COVID is ripping through the facotry where Jools works, the stores guy, Sean, is ill, though not positive on Monday would be on Tuesday. Her cough is not so bad for sure, though she has a couple of coughing fits before a sup of syrup calms everything down.

More football in the evening, which finishes at the handy time of five to nine.

Just in time for bed.
