Very sicky

Not been about (blog wise) for a few days - been nursing the sick pretty much - and spring cleaning.

Just as April was recovering from her hideous virus, Rosie came down with a slightly less severe version of it. Then, just as she was (is!) recovering from it Tim got ill. Actually, I didn't realise that Tim felt ill until yesterday morning because he never mentioned it to me. He left for work at the usual time 4.45 ish (am!), I got back into bed and fell asleep. Then, about an hour later i was woken up by a knocking and I lay in bed thinking "eh?" and not sure if I imagined it or not. Then there was another knocking and I started to panic because I wondered who the hell was knocking on my door at quarter to 6 in the morning! Then the phone rang and it was Tim and he said "hello, I'm outside would you let me in please?!" Oh. Ok then.

So in he came and told me that he felt really ill.

You want to know something really stupid? Before he told me that he felt ill, I had no idea and no idea why he was home again. Did I think "oh my god he's been sacked!"? No. Did I think "oh my god, the car broke down!"? No. Did I think "oh my god, he's ill!"? No.

The first thought that popped into my head was "oh my god, maybe the warehouse burnt down!". What?! Well, I was half asleep! *laughs*

So anyway, Tim got up, left the house at 4.45, went for a little drive to Christchurch, told the work people he felt crap, drove home again and went back to bed!

Today our landlord came to visit. He lives up north somewhere and all the years we've lived here we've never met him. He was down visiting his parents so he'd thought he'd pop in and whilst he was here he measured the kitchen because, apparently, he's thinking of having a new one put in sometime. Lovely! It's a really badly designed, hideously old kitchen so a new one would be very welcome - he also said he'd design it in such a way as to create space for our fridge/freezer which is currently in the dining area! Oooo!

So that was that. Tomorrow afternoon Tim and his sniffles are going off to the church because he has a rehersal for the Easter service - lucky them - hope they don't get his germs!
