MY alarm goes off at 7.45am so I’m up to take my industrial-strength antibiotics on schedule at 8am. I go back to bed and fall asleep waking up in a panic at 9.57am. My guitar student will be here at 10am!

Jeez. I dash into the bathroom and when I go back to the bedroom check my phone…there’s a message saying she’s gonna give this week a miss as the roads are all flooded. Phew. I go back to bed and fall asleep until nearly midday.

I have a very light brunch and chill until my pal Martyn rocks up. We’d planned a walk, but he’s already walked from his village a few miles away and I’m not really feeling up to it.

We sit in front of the fire, enjoy a snack and blether for a good few hours. Nice to have a chance to catch up properly.

Margaret makes a light dinner then we watch My Old School on BBC iPlayer – a very strange account of a 32 -year old guy going back to his old secondary school as a new fifth year pupil.

In bed I check some social media to find that some of my website links are going to spam sites. Looks like there’s some server-side malware, Jeez, this is not what I need at the moment….
