Home today with the sick child. Last night he was running a fever and it was obviously too much for his brain - he was wandering round his room and up the hall way looking for his class. Definitely delusional. Much better today, and I have been drugging him regularly which has certainly helped. He's stayed in bed for the morning listening to the radio and spent the afternoon watching videos. He's home again tomorrow, but I will go to school for the afternoon.
Finished seperating the stormwater today. I've buried a perforated pipe in the ground, which works pretty much like a soakpit but a long skinny one rather than a short fat one. It seemed better to put the water into our very free draining sandy soil which never ponds rather than putting it into the stormwater system. I guess it might come back and bite me if it doesn't work - but at least I met the council deadline. R thinks it will fill up with sand real quick and then not work. Time will tell, but we won't ever have more rain than we did the week after I put it in, and it worked okay then.
Just finished a biography on Margot Fonteyn. It was good but too long... 588 pages.
