A Moment of RestC still crook, had a rough nights sleep, get up manage to trip the fuses with the toaster, make coffee and that at least offers a moment of rest.  Sort out the fuses, and C comes downstairs to tell me off.  Nip to the shop for water for C and job’s a good ‘un.  Slowly sort the roast after a sarnie for lunch.

Roast was appalling.
