Sorry for the recent lack of posting.

Ever since my new grandson started nursery, he's picking up new bugs roughly every ten days. Then both his parents and grandparents fall ill.

There are few things worse than a small baby awake in the night feeling hungry and unwell, and his parents not feeling well either.

The first bug was so bad that we had to take him for two nights - his parents looked like zombies.

I'm currently collapsed with bug number 4...

Sorry for all the misery, and hope you all get to feel better soon. Hopefully it will let up with time.

Thanks. He's a lovely boy and I absolutely adore him, but it would be nice to be well for more than five days on the trot!

Hope things turn around soon.

Oh, no! Poor lad, and poor you! Hope you're soon feeling better.

Still coughing, but past the shivery part.
Annoying though: I'm supposed to be teaching a morris workshop to the cubs tonight, but I don't think I'll be upto it.
At least, I've got a back up.

Do you know my son, Henry? He's Squire of Anonymous Morris. He's also Theo's dad.

He had the bug as well, but I think he's recovering faster than me, so should be able to do the Cubs.

Yes, I know Henry from our dance outs.

I hope he has recovered full strength. Teaching morris to cubs sounds like an excellent recipe for mayhem!

I want a pic to know which dancer you are...

I have a mental guess, but I'm not certain.

Actually, the cubs are pretty well behaved as a rule. We go back every year, and the leaders always pitch in and help.

Henry survived, but was pretty tired when he got back.

Oh no! Hope you feel better soon, and your little grandson becomes less attractive to all the pre-school viruses. (Based on anecdotal reports from parent acquaintances, I know that isn't terribly likely!)

My mother's had a cold too and someone at work reported her whole family had been flattened, one after the other. Bugs are ping ponging round the country.

Yeah. I've just sent a warning to an event I'm booked to call maypole for, to say there's a fair chance I may be ill on that date. It's only five weeks away.

Ugh, the joys of a community of small children. Hope the bugs start to slow down.

fingers crossed...

Oh dear, I know exactly what you mean. Nurseries and kindergartens (here) are a constant source of bugs... Poor child and poor parents - and I am sure you have your share too. And the small ones are highly infectious - especially for grandparents... Get well soon!!

I don't know whose been more miserable. Theo or his family...

Henry looked like zombie after bug number 2.

We've taken Theo overnight a couple of times, just to let his parents get some sleep to help them recover.

But he is adorable!

When he smiles and waggles his arms and legs at you, or when he 'trills'... I just melt...

Oh no, hope he runs out of new viruses soon!
