........raindrops and sweet peas.......

No work for me today.......and no blip last night either........that's because when I got home at 8.30 last night after our induction evening for pupils starting next September I felt as rough as toast........hot, shivery, sweating, weak kneed.......straight off to bed...........and the crap feeling continued all through the night........and for most of today too!

It's been wet all day.......and we had a power cut from late last night until about 9.00 this morning.........just what you need when you're ill and not slept much........the burglar alarm going off and dragging you out of bed........and getting wet going out to check the fuses etc.

I emerged into the land of the living around 3.00 this afternoon and managed a bowl of soup.............and the Germany v France game..........will I be bale to stay awake for Brazil v Colombia?

Charlie had a moment of enlightenment on Wednesday...........she suddenly understood what I do for a living.......and then spent much of the afternoon complaining bitterly......."My Grandad's not here to play with me because he's with other children".......funny how their minds work at that age.

Das vidanya moy padruga.
