I’m feeling a bit poorly this week. I have a headache that refuses to budge and withstands all the codeine I can safely take. So instead of doing anything of much worth, I have been watching YouTube clips. Yes, fine, okay, Susan Boyle occasionally, but mostly clips from the 10th anniversary Les Miserables spectacular because I am rather tragic.

My son has been here with me, keeping me company, and tuning out the music. However the second I start watching medieval battle reenactments or firing trebuchets he climbs up into my lap and begs “more, more!” Then we move on to the Cadbury Creme Egg ads, which he could sit and watch all day long if I let him.

So that’s us – what’s going on with you?
