Thank you for the messages. Been a no energy day which for the situation worked out well (ironically)... No desire to do much more than sit and stare gormlessly either into space or at my computer. Any thoughts of si or whatever else were just squashed by nothing being there to fuel it.

In addition with the change of temperature in the uk I think I'm coming down with a cold or some other bug that is going around so that will keep me distracted in a different miserable way by which being a bloke my wife will exclaim 'man flu' as I moan about that.

Crisis team lady came at 2... Had called before hand and I asked if she was ok with dogs (I need to ask this as our little madam wants to meet and greet whoever comes in and if I put her in her cage she will bark constantly which throws out my concentration)... Lady said yes as long as our dog was friendly to which I said yes... Bet you know what's coming next... For the first time ever while at home instead of being all happy she growled and went into protect mode grabbed her and put her in the other room (let her back in at the woman's request a few minutes later and she was fine as the lady was sitting).

Transpires Sundays are quiet days for home visits so the lady was in no rush to leave and we ended up talking for about 40 minutes (I was getting very tired by the end of it)... Was calming though and was nice to have the company.

Got another visit Tuesday afternoon which works out well as the wife starts back at work (teacher).

My cop friend is coming to visit tomorrow as he wants me to take him to the King Richard the 3rd (I think) museum tomorrow (he's a bit of a culture and history buff) which should be fine as it'll be quiet... Have forewarned him that if we go into crowded areas my earphones are going in to which he joked his wife does that frequently to him talking so no problem.
