Illness in the family

Last Friday, my cold still much in evidence, I started to feel sick. As the day went on, this feeling became stronger. By evening I was sitting on the bathroom floor next to the toilet feeling very sorry for myself. Actually throwing up was a real relief. By the following morning I was feeling much better and by lunchtime I was eating again. Sadly, the cold is still around.

Today, I'm cleaning sick off the lounge carpet. Yes, Beatrice - poor thing - has caught my bug. She was in tears when I got to her; partly because it was an upsetting experience and partly because she thought she'd done a Bad Thing. She's now tucked up in bed with Lion (he's Ryan's, but this isn't the time to say so!).

The weekend was a good one. Mostly because of lanfykins and verlaine who came over to play Bridge and put up with bateleur and I being dealt all the points (already mentioned here and here). There was also Butterscotch and Cherry - both fine things. And as for this week... it's got a Pancake Day! Plus it's the start of the Birthday Season.
