Seems to be a family-oriented day today. Mum had a day off today and dropped in for a cup of coffee this afternoon. She also brought me a new top and some afternoon tea yummies.

Then there was a phone call from my sister a little while later to say that she had gotten a new job. The company she’s with at the moment is going down the gurgler, so this is very good news. It’s also good to hear how excited she sounds about the whole thing.

Progress on my thesis continues to creep forward, which is always a good thing in my book.

I didn’t even have a trace of a sore throat today. Very grateful indeed for that one… and for the ginger tea I’ve been drinking since yesterday morning, which I’m sure is responsible for this sudden cessation.
