Last week was a bit of a trial. Eddie's been off school for several days. It looks like the stomach bug makes rounds, as Sasha's school was closed on Friday due to a mass sickness.
The Cat that walks by himself...
On Monday Eddie's been so unwell, that I didn't take a single picture. He was sick through the night, and we were both exhausted from the lack of sleep.
A bit more cheerful the next day, he spent most of it in bed.
Our favourite "ghost house" in the neighbourhood, with the creepers in autumnal colours.
A window of the jeweller's shop on the way into town, with a shadow of a branch.
On Thursday Sash had his final respite stay of the month. Typically we have a pizza and a movie night with Eddie or go out, but he was still not well enough. He had some plain boring food to settle his stomach, and we watched Avengers: Endgame again.
On Friday Eddie went back to school. He must have being starving after several days of sickness, because he told me later that he had fish and chips, and then had seconds too, bless him.
Mum has picked a couple of roses in the garden and put them in a little vase in the kitchen.
Weather-wise, it's a totally miserable day today, it's been raining non-stop, in torrents. Yesterday I started reading a book, which I received for reviewing - The Iron Chariot by Stein Riverton. It's been voted the greatest Norwegian crime novel of all times. It's marvellously atmospheric.
Oh wow never heard of a school getting mass sickness and shutting down! But the bug going round is pretty nasty!
ReplyDeleteLove that ghost house and that rose looks lovely
Thank you, Fozia, I think we had a similar school closure years ago, but nothing recently.
DeleteSorry to hear that Eddie was poorly for so long. It must have been hard for both of you. I love the photo of the shadow. That book sounds like one I would enjoy.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sarah, I was very worried for him, as on Tuesday he couldn't hold any tiny amount of food or drink he tried, and he was scared to eat in case he's sick again. The book is very good so far.
DeleteOh no! Poor Eddie! It sounds like he really went thorough it.
ReplyDeleteThat ghost house does look fab!
The weather has been awful this past week. I think it's finally stopped raining here now.
Thank you, Kim, the weather hasn't improved since then either.
DeleteGlad to hear Eddie is better at the end of the week, he must've improved to eat fish and chips. Shame about Sasha's school closing due to sickness, hope he's ok
ReplyDeleteThank you, Suzanne, Sash was OK when the school was closed, but got a bad cold later.
DeleteAww poor Eddie - glad he managed to get better before the holidays though ! Enjoy the time with your mum xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cheryl, he was lucky to get better before holidays.
DeleteI hope Eddie is better now and ready for some Halloween fun. Hugs xx
ReplyDeleteThank you, Anca, hope you had a nice Halloween yourself.
DeleteSorry to hear that Eddie has been poorly, but I can see that your Mum is here so that's good to read. That house with the creepers!!! What state must their windows be in #365
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary, that house is a mystery, I'd love to see what's it like inside.
DeleteGlad to hear Eddie's on the mend. Not great when they're sick for so long and just before half term. Lovely rose photo
ReplyDeleteSo pleased to hear Eddie is on the mend. That is not great. Love the photo with the flowers in the foreground and the grey moody sky. It is pretty xx
ReplyDeletesensible move by the school, we have had that a few times over the years, as sadly some people will send their kids to school knowing they are ill. Glad Eddie is feeling better and eating well again
ReplyDeletegreat shadow picture
Sorry to hear Eddie has been unwell, glad he is feeling better. I have had enough of the weather too! The book sounds interesting, can't wait to hear what you think x
