Sharing the settee

This is probably the longest break I’ve had from blogging apart from summer holiday breaks. I have had flu and a cold and swollen glands and as soon as I’ve recovered from one horrible cold another has started. I am heartily sick of feeling achey and not being able to breathe or sleep properly. Luckily for the entire Christmas period we have been guests of friends and family and so the most challenging task I’ve had was to cook a few vegetables. I hope I’ll be back on form soon.

Flo is reading Ian McEwan’s book ‘Atonement’ in this drawing. She’s been desperate to indulge in reading a novel, but immediately prior to her Oxford interview she felt she could only allow herself to read books like Fermat’s Last Theorem or to revise mathematical concepts. Thank you everyone who has shared in our delight at Flo’s provisional university offer, I really appreciate your support.
