from the living room window

in the house all day again today, laurie been asleep on the couch most of the day. he's not right at all, in fact just off the phone to nhs 24 - got an out of hours appointment for him tonight. he's actually a bit brighter just now (the pink stuff working it's magic) and i'm really hoping not to have to have a mini-break in sick kids, sam would pose a bit of a logistical problem for a start...
