My lot left at 7am to visit her mother in Lincolnshire.
I have had additional sleeping-in time, the luxury of a bath without anyone banging on the door wanting the toilet (there is another toilet downstairs) and am now going to eat some brekky. I may then get dressed and collect the papers or may forget them and make do with the 24 news channels.
The family will not be back until between 10 and 11pm tonight, by which time with the aid of my usual pills and some alcohol I shall be fast asleep.
Peace and quiet for the entire day.
