Another trip

ailbheRob got up in the middle of the night - seriously, the middle, horrible - and went to work via a taxi to Heathrow, because he's in Dublin training for more of whatever it is that he does. So I woke at a normal time and spent the day trying to pace myself.
It worked until Linnea vomited and Astrid's fever got high enough for her to be cranky. Tearing my thumbnail off just below the quick didn't help much either. Nor the dead baby rat under the pile of laundry in the bedroom.
So I realise now that I have not drunk anything like enough today. I have done three loads of laundry, and the nappies are on now, and I fed the cats across the road, and I gave everyone who could eat breakfast, lunch and dinner, and I cleared up in the kitchen a good deal. But I drank half my coffee and a glass of orange juice in the morning, and a cup of tea in the evening.
Oops.
I've just had a glass of apple and ginger squash, and I have made another, and a mug of tea, and I am ready to hydrate.
