I’ve only got the rent-a-phone for the next two days so I got myself a lay-in so I can get in touch with as many family members as possible from the comfort of my rack.

Holy crap, it's 90 degrees in Rochester today. This is officially National Do Nothing But Lay In Front Of The AC With Your Cats Day.

Having a lay-in. 

It means, to lay in bed.
Not necessarily sleeping, enjoying peace and quiet alone.
Whilst the husband gets up, sorts out dotty
Changes Flo's nappy.
Makes Louie and Olivia's breakfast.
And makes Heidi a cup of tea in bed.
Whilst he's keeping noise to a minimum watching motd.
Where's Heidi?

She's having a lay-in.
She'll be there until one of the kids screams or the dog jumps up and licks her face.
