Headache all day. Boo.

1. The cats, dog and John tend to me well as I lie in a heap on the sofa.

2. I look for holiday cottages or dog-friendly b&bs/hotels – and find a nice selection. My favourites are the ones that mention their own pets on the site: a sign they’ll probably be actually dog- friendly rather than just dog-tolerant.

3. Lily taps John’s arm to make him look at her and when he does, she stares at him with such intensity it’s as if she’s trying to transmit her thoughts into his brain.
