Brick Tree

Came across this tree at work today, I've never, ever seen a tree held up with bricks like this.  

The eldest was sick in the night (mummy my tummy hurts...), so that was an hour and four trips to the bathroom.  Sent my poor mother a message at 6am asking if she could be on stand-by in case he wasn't well again and took the risk of taking him to nursery (hoping to goodness that he didn't say anything to them).  So the call mid-morning, as I was walking to a meeting, from the childminder who looks after the youngest to say  could I come and get him, immediately as she had come down with a bug was a surprise.  So that was the youngest with a bonus afternoon with Granny and Grandpa, and, amazingly the eldest was fine.  
I was despatched home with shepherds pie straight out of the oven.  Arrived home with both boys asleep, straight into their beds, warm supper for me in front of Strictly 'it takes 2', my secret trash tv. 

Early night for me after a day on my feet (which was lovely), and a somewhat disturbed night - and by the way I'm feeling a touch of the bug everyone has.
