Been poorly. Think it was a reaction to my hepatitis B shot. Have been tired, weak and shivery since Saturday night, sleeping about 15 hours a day, and when at it's worst (Sunday evening) could not even make the stairs.

I am house/puppy/cat sitting for friends, and the puppy was incredibly patient when I was late feeding him on Sunday. He just lay down next to me and waited until I felt strong enough to make it up the stairs and feed him - which was hours. The cats were more demanding, as would the husky or the dalmatian been in the same situation.

However after I finally fed him, and after his next meal, he stood over his empty bowl when he had finished eating, and demanded an extra tin of food! Presumably stocking up in case I was late again!
