More Cranes

Many flocks of cranes flew over our house this afternoon.
Once more, they were the best thing on a difficult day. 

For those of you who follow P‘s journal, he won’t be blipping today. He has caught some kind of nasty bug, had a horrible night (which made mine sleepless, too), and spent most of today feeling nauseous and feverish, constantly shouting and swearing because of cramps and pains in his joints and muscles. By noon it had become so bad that I called the emergency medical service, who came three hours later, checked on him for literally seconds, and disappeared again. But at least the doctor gave him some strong painkillers, so he could finally fall asleep after some 15 hours of agony.

So much for my hopes for a quiet weekend and better sleep…
