Black cross day...

There should be a black cross across our door this evening.

One by one the hobbits have fallen this week to a sickness bug, and last night Spider-Man succumbed to it with a vengeance. Starting about one this morning, and finally stopping mid morning today.

It is truly horrid to see your children unwell. They get scared and of course there is nothing you can do to stop the vomiting and the pain that comes with retching.

That may sound a little melodramatic and that is not my intention, but they look so vulnerable when they are ill.

By this evening he looks less peaky and the real Spider-Man is on the rise again, for what hopefully will be a sunnier weekend.

However in the last few hours, another problem has arisen...and alas Mummy is not now doing so well...having succumbed to the inevitable as well.

Wishing you all a healthier weekend...
