Evening Lorraine. Sounds like its been a busy but successful day. I think you deserve a rest.

Hope you feel better soon Helena let me know if you want me to do the morning post tomorrow.

June I hope Ash is back to his normal self soon and it is nothing to worry about.
I also hope the shrieking was a lot to do about nothing.

I kernow wot you his hinsinuatin' but heheheheh hit hain't on 'ere!

I hadmit to bein' an old witc opps biddy but I is a laydee.

*grabs bottle and runs off with it.

I'm watching it as well.
Ash had got hold of the foil tray that had their tea on and was playing tug of war. They are going onto proper little bowls now, was using them at the beginning as they were flat.
Found a very chewed frisbee in their toy box and exchanged it for that and gave them another squeaky ball and a chew rope.

*casually presses automatic return switch on my special remote control, and awaits arrival of bottle

Well, if Ash is up to playing tug of war then he is not feeling too bad is he, thank goodness.

I tell you when I saw his little soaking wet face my heart was in my mouth. I really really hope it wasn't the mop bucket, that was around 12 noon'ish so surely if something was wrong it would have shown by now. I couldn't smell anything and if he had fell in there he would have smelt very clean! But he smells of puppy

I think you need it tonight, I hope your arm isn't too sore.

Helena, fingers crossed this bug doesn't last long.

Tawneywolf, I hope Mum's magic milk has helped Ash and he has no lingering effects.

I am currently cuddled in bed with one ill son and an overtired daughter who needs to chill out and go to sleep. They've had a great weekend with my husband's brother and his wife who are over from Oz for the first time in 2 years. It's been fab seeing them and catching up.

Dat not funny dat woz my noze wot got bumpidid.

*gets scissors, cuts the return cable wotsit, grabs bottle and runs off with it again.

I bet you have had a wonderful time, but do hope that your boy feels better soon, and that your daughter finally gives in and drops off! Don't forget to get yourself some sleep too!

TW, I know that feeling of sinking heart only too well and really hope that nothing horrible was ingested by Ash. Was there any evidence of splashing or anything around the mop bucket? It does seem more likely that it was just the water bowl, and perhaps it was such a nasty shock for him that it made him sick Fingers are well and truly crossed here.

*Finds Malka hiding in the cupboard with the bottle, smacks her round the ear, removes bottle, and locks her in.
