With rather a lot of annual leave to use up before the end of August I took yesterday off. Although I'm stressed by the work that's piling up, I was glad of a day off doing very little after a weekend with in-laws.

On the upside French rellies were visiting which made it fun and I managed to beat father-in-law at chess which is a once in 20 or 30 game occurrence. Or less. Very unusual.
