Part of me feels like I'm being really uptight (I let the bear go in a playground this week but whisked him back when another child came hurtling towards him to play - heartbreaking!) but the thing is my mum's been coming over and has looked after him a couple of days over the past two weeks while I've worked (more on that) and my stepdad had a pretty nasty lymphoma a couple of years ago and is in his 70s and why would I put him at risk?

I've now done five days work over this week and last, which is really great, even though my job overran yesterday which meant I missed Sophie Ellis-Bextor's kitchen disco, wahh! I have tech-y things that still need tweaking, but using Skype/Zoom/whatever for court hearings seems manageable, even though I'd wager about a quarter of what they say is purely just the words "you're still on mute!"

If this continues I'm going to have to get a proper desk and chair. I've been propping my laptop up on the coffee table with big thick books and Everybody Loves Raymond DVDs, and sitting on two cushions on a dining room chair but it's still murder (on the daanceflooor)!
