He has purple prickles all over his back

Owen's Halloween outfit was a Gruffalo jacket. He was getting a few looks as he trotted around town. I suspect they were all thinking, Gruffalo? What's a Gruffalo?

A strange start to the day after a restless night with Owen. I had to take the car back to the garage for 4 new tyres but as Louisa was still in bed after being up half the night with him I had to take Owen in the car and then run home with him in the buggy, in the torrential rain. The day didn't get much less strange with the news that England will be going into a second lockdown. This time just for a month. Hopefully it will stem the tide of increasing infections but I'm not entirely sure what kind of impact it's going to have at work. The aim is business as usual.
