Update

My mother came to visit yesterday, which was really nice. I took her out for a decent steak at a favourite pub, which she seemed to appreciate. We walked, talked, visited Bourton-on-the-Water just after it shut and had a not-amazingly-overpriced generous portions of tea, and then played poker in the evening with friends, which was nice :)

I wanted to get this update done before bedtime, and I've done it, but I've stayed up later than I wanted to - these last couple of days have been knackering and I can feel the sore throat warning me not to push it. Roll on the weekend. In fact, roll on three weeks' time :)
