ailbheI went to the doctor for my swine flu vaccination, and when I got home Rob started sorting out the wiring in the attic - he's beginning with the lighting circuit, because once that's sorted out we can move the ladder around and finish the ceiling. Then he can do the plug sockets circuit and we can do the walls, but that bit needs a real electrician; we might be able to find someone who can do that and move the radiator at the same time.
I used my lovely new computer to run a spreadsheet (the old one had refused to do that without grinding!) and updated our finances, and phoned the energy suppliers and the credit card people to sort things out, and now we're in less debt and have smaller ongoing payments and nice things like that.
We had a snack, and lunch, and then went out to a bonfire party. It's just over a mile away, so it took 30 minutes to walk with Emer in the buggy. Linnea was Not Herself while we were there and came in from the chilly garden feeling very hot. Actually, the children weren't half as interested in the bonfire and fireworks as the adults, though the fireworks had been specially selected to be Not Loud (I was very grateful).
We got the bus back because Linnea ended up being obviously unwell - she's in bed now moaning in her sleep while her stomach makes much louder noises - and the children had a bath to get the toffee apple remains off them. I've never understood toffee apples but Emer liked attacking it.
Emer brushed her teeth fairly cheerfully and went to sleep on the sofa, in spite of her earlier nap. And it didn't rain, so we got most of two loads of laundry dry.
Now I am running a slight fever - vaccine probably - and going to go to bed soon. I have a Kate Adie autobiography which I expect to enjoy.
