Illness

It all started a week and a half ago when Angus was diagnosed with croup. He was getting about the house sounding like a seal and not feeling very well. Since then, Karen, Patrick and (most recently) Owen have succumbed to some viral infection that has symptoms of a very runny nose, lethargy, coughs and all-round dog-tiredness. It was so bad last Thursday and Friday that I stayed home from work to nurse the entire family.

Anyway, as I write this it is now Sunday night and the family is on the mend. Patrick should return to school tomorrow and Karen should be able to take Angus and Owen to playgroup on Tuesday and Thursday. And me? I'll be back to work tomorrow for a rest!

We leave this coming Friday (24th June) to spend the school holidays in Sydney. We'll see you all soon.
