Tuesday

For some reason I kept thinking that today was tomorrow - date-wise at least. I think it was something to do with the Public Holiday yesterday putting me out of sync - but hopefully frequent checking of the calendar will keep everything in check.
I'm also blaming yesterday's Public Holiday for my needing to have a nap this afternoon - I went in to spend some quality time with Emma (who seems to be mostly AOK at the moment) and fell asleep with her on the pillow beside me - well, actually my head was in it too so it was amazing that she was able to stay there - especially as it seemed to be on a quite jaunty angle.
It remains cold here so it is still fairly easy to get the furries in for lockdown in the evenings - that's if they're not already in - which they mostly are. They all seem to be very addicted to little snacks of special cookies at the moment too - but none more so than Pearl who hovers around so she can hoover up whatever any of the others has missed.
While some of us were back to work today, M and S were not amongst us as they have separately but collectively given up their charity telemarketing careers. There are no tears there though and I dare say neither of them will have trouble filling their time until something else comes along for them to do. It is amazing that they managed to put up with what seemed to be quite onerous conditions - MAPS and far too frequent reviews for one of them - for as long as they did but once they had said they would, anyone who knows them knew they were going to give it their best shot.
And speaking of telemarketers, we missed out on breakfast with S again on Saturday. She is working a Saturday job at the moment and we haven't been able to find a suitable alternative yet. Hopefully we will soon. She did find time though to send S an eCard for her birthday - which was also a Get Well card - and a very cute one featuring a black cat and a houseboat and a person fishing.
MasterChef featured an immunity challenge this evening with Kate facing off against a renowned pastry chef - and cooking one of his dishes. She didn't win but she didn't do too badly either. It was an amazing feat and a very good testament for keeping yourself under control and not leaving yourself open to panic.
Sooz tried her hand at MasterChef cooking tonight and produced a quite wonderful cauliflower and brie soup. It was very rich and thick and luscious with is not usually a quality you see in a soup. And she made enough so there would be leftovers. Yummm.
