I tried to get a load of work done before Zander arrived; not wholly successful as the work IT was proving less than useless.

The lad arrived, I spent half an hour looking over his work for the day and off we went to
Lidl at lunchtime for dinner bits; and 'work'  resumed.

Tom arrived mid afternoon, (he'd called me earlier with a maths query ' I would ask mum but she's sleeping just now') and then occupied each other so I finished the day more or less where I should have been

Shepherds pie and a bike ride to Cramond - with Alex it was more 10km than 10 miles.

I saw as looking for staff the other day so I'm guessing it's still some way off. All sound bites, no substance
