Oh dear, still ill and fed up. It's all snowy outside and I'm not even close to thinking about going for a run in it, what a waste! Triple whammy of all of us being ill at the same time has meant a stressful weekend with lots of snot and tears, but Jen and Alex seem to have come out the other side of it more successfully than I have. Either that or they are just putting on a braver face than I am.

Feel very rough with a temperature and aches. Managed to get an amazingly long sleep thanks to going to bed at 7.30 and Jen looking after Alex all night, but not feeling much better in the morning, sadly.

Day of trying to get better while looking after Alex, went for a couple of sling walks, but crashed badly after the second one. Poor Jenny, now she has both me and Alex to look after.

Another day of surveying but definitely coming down with a cold, so laboured my way around the forest today. Very cold conditions again, probably not done myself much good.

Another day off running, but 7 hours of survey today in brass monkey conditions. I got very cold in the morning but warmed up a bit in the afternoon when the sun broke through the haze. Making good progress but not helped by the fact that I am a bit coldy.

C • Tour de France stage finish... 12

Mapping for 6 hours near Grantham, nice day but cold. Tired!

I think I'll have a day off.
