Home alone

Hayley and Oliver have gone to Wiltshire for a few days to visit family and friends. I have stayed in Stockport to recover from illness and go to work (as I've no holidays left).

It's so odd without them both here. I wandered into Oliver's room earlier and was hit by the smell of him! The place is so oddly quiet without them and I already miss them.

But it's an oportunity to get a few things done beyond the usual daily chores, for example reading the books I've bought about the rights and wrongs of daycare. Better get to it then!
