Today I had a handful of things planned. Then Amos announced he was ill, and I scraped all of them :-\ He didnt have any real symptons, but he never misses school. He never moans about going, never has to be nagged to go, so when he says he's not up to going, I believe him. Oh, and he only ate half his dinner last night and went to bed voluntarily at 7.30pm!! He is back to eating me out of house and home again now though, so tomorrow will go to school again.

So instead of going out, I decided today was a good day to lay a new floor in the hall. Well, start laying one. I have finally cleared the old table out, put new floor in the corner, moved stuff round some more. I've only got cheap vinyl tiles, and I cant be bothered to worry about making the floor vaguely flat and level. But I hate the current floor more than I can explain. Half of it is a foul brown carpet, and the other half is where the carpet got removed and its a foul brown concrete. The new tiles are a pale parquet style, and even the little bit I've done so far looks sooooo much better.

Tomorrow I have Jonathan for the day, which as always should be lovely. He's very easy to look after, and in general a delight to be around. I may even get to run some of the errands I had planned for today.

I'm off now to watch Grand Designs, which I adore. And after the first few minutes of it, this looks like being a beautiful building
