I’ve been feeling progressively tired and less well for more than a week. Last night, I realised that, on Helen’s advice, I’d been taking iron tablets (which usually perk up most people). Then I remembered that Mum had said something, a while back, about some inherited disease I might have. I looked up “hemachromatosis”, and it has all the symptoms I’ve been showling. The iron tablets are out, and I’ll have to do a bit of a “clean up” diet to try to come good.

Apart from that, work is amazingly busy. We’re still in the “panic” mode because numbers are down, and Helen and I have to drive the effective marketing activities. There is light at the end of the tunnel after next weekend.
