Sort yourself out

[nursedarry]

For the last month, I've not been a healthy bunny. I caught a mild chest infection (which I didn't know I had) and then had two weeks of the most annoying, racking and terrible-sounding cough known to man. When it failed to go away (or stop being productive), I visited doc who told me my exercise-induced asthma had become regular asthma. Yes, oh joy.

Not to bore you with the details, I'm finally getting better, but still have the occasional racking-can't-breathe-to-save-my-life cough (usually in the morning. I'm sure my neighbours think I smoke 40 fags a day.)

Anyway, I was driving four-and-a-half-year-old kids to their daycare before school this morning and told them that today was the last day they would have to wear a tie as they'll change over to their summer uniforms after the hols. There were shouts of "hurray!" but I told them they would get their ties back in the autumn. The ties have their school colours on (see pic).

So son says "Next year, I want a green tie." Mummy splutters a bit and says that he has to wear the colour of the school he attends. (Our neighbour's son attends a different school down the road, whose uniforms are green, so he knows they exist.)

"Okay," says son. "how about a yellow one?" Mummy loses fight with lungs and hacks up a fur ball all the way to the gate, where guard with big gun looks at her like she's completely nuts.

Which she is.

Thankfully, Twin One (also known as "daughter") is happy with current colour choice.



Right, more composed, now I'll bid everyone a fond farewell, as early next week we'll be jumping on that medium-sized red, white, and blue bird and heading north of the border and the *insert expletive here* in-laws' house. Talk to everyone again from there.

Have a great weekend and hols, flist!

*cough, cough*

Hope you have a good trip. My inlaws are in Edinburgh - where yours?

Same, Edinburgh. That's where hubby is from. I used to live there before we were posted down to England.

When are you next up? Oh, and I'll be in London again 7 May: Holiday Inn in Regent's Park for Infection Control conference.

Sexy, huh?

Can meet up at lunch if you fancy.

Not sure when we'll be in Edinburgh next, but 7 May tentatively good for lunch - email me closer to the time and let's see if we can manage it.

You go to all the good conferences. I'm organising one for 10,000 people at Olympia :-(
