A short break.... Cough Cough

Actually it was a long break ....we got whooping cough...We thought it was a flu virus that wouldn't go away ..and I was really puzzled why youngest daughter didn't join in ...she's usually the first to catch yukky viruses and they aren't nice to her..but this time she remained untouched ..most strange..until we finally realized what we had...yes we were vaccinated.... but they wear out ...who knew? we didn't ....bit of a oops that .
Well we are now on the mend , although the addition of a cold has elder daughter coughing again.
It's a horrid bug, I really don't recommend it ...If you get the chance I'd suggest keeping your vaccinations well up to date!  (Eldest daughter wasn't due for her booster until next year but the protection had worn off before then...you live and learn..and cough quite a bit)

Ah well on a different and Much Brighter note

I Nearly suffered heat stroke ..the junior charmers insisted on the correct amount of candles for me and also decorated the cake with the Christmas cake reindeer...who now has no antlers as the resultant firestorm melted them off...... lovely cake mind...they made and decorated it "All by themselves" totally actually ...very yummy Lucky me :0)

from an old gravestone

If you hold your nose to the Grindstone
and you leave it there long enough,
Then soon you'll say
there's no such things
as brooks that babble
and birds that sing,
these three will all your world compose,
just you, the stone and your poor old nose.

(from memory so may not be word perfect)
