Sounds like he's turning the corner! That's good to hear. Odd coincidence that I found out last weekend my father in law back in the states had a fall due to fainting, fractured his lumbar and some ribs. Sounds like he's in for a round of physio himself. You wish they'd look after themselves a bit better, eh?

I also work from home. Really hoping my kid doesn't bring that flu home, I could do without that.

I make my coffee quite strong normally, and the effect of that first sip hits hard. With decaf, it's a similar flavour but you don't get that keen sense of having been dosed with something. I find myself staring reproachfully at the mug. I might just go native and switch to tea at this point.
