When babies are ill. Everything stops

Over a week of rowing lost all in all to a mixture of my germs and then Leah's. She's six months now and this was her first proper illness and there was no time to row as she wasn't sleeping and needed a lot of TLC.

Have rowed for the last couple of days did 5*1000m last night and slow 30mins the night before. I just need to put a good run together to get me used to rowing every day(ish) again. There's no doubt that working in London plus the sleepiness of a new baby has made finding that hour in the evening very hard.

The most amazing thing is that spider Armageddon has happened in my garage! There are literally hundreds of tiny dead spiders all over the floor. It looked like dust but upon closer inspection they are baby spiders. This has coincided with a change in the style of spider that lives in my garage. Previously it was big hairy ones but this year I've only seen the long legged bandy ones (I'm sure they have proper names). Spider war seems to be happening above my head as I row. Very odd indeed!
