Well, I was right. No sooner had one child started to get better than the other one started exploding. Mercifully for her, it seems to be a lesser case, but no-one like to throw up. To her credit, she is handling it all with her customary bravery. That said, she’s a little disappointed that she can’t engage in some of the activities that we had planned – throwing up at swimming lessons is never a good look!

It’s so hot and humid at the moment – 35 degrees Celsius, with enough humidity that you sweat standing still. I guess that’s what happens in summer.
