Run with D which at least means I can run again, in a manner of speaking. Later visits to R and Sunday dinner with family. Mei has become so talkative and it appears I now get a regular shift looking after Ned on my own, which I really enjoy. Everyone else seems to take the opportunity to run and hide for a breather.

Email from V about arrangements for the coming week ALL IN CAPS so I know she's serious. Had better knuckle down, not long to go until showtime.
