So finally, after three days of no school last week (with GB thereby missing a German test yet again), we get a message saying there is school today. Only to find him just before school time saying he has a bad stomach ache, and can't go. I tried asking if anything about school is worrying him, but he couldn't identify anything. So one more day getting behind with coursework etc.
Oh well, I managed in spite of this to get back into some kind of work routine. It feels like Christmas has only just finished, and even now I can't tell if it's safe to go back into the office (ie across the landing into the spare bedroom...!). Still, I did finally take down the Christmas tree yesterday, with much sadness (I hate that task) and to the accompaniment of a CD of the Vienna Philharmonic doing the New Year concert (the Vienna Boys's Choir singing German Christmas carols is my accompaniment for decorating the tree before Christmas).
Feeling a bit shaky after a day's work, and not looking forward to doing minutes at the Inclusion Group tonight, but at least I've got some important admin done.
