Play date

Sebastian came over to play with Gracie this afternoon. It was the warmest day of the year so far - fairly balmy compared to usual - so we got outside for a bit of a run around in the garden, where we all got VERY MUDDY, hurrah!

Ophelia has finally succumbed to the chicken pox, but also has a nasty purply rash across her face, arm and legs. When it seemed to be getting worse, we took her to get checked out at the doctor's and were sent to hospital in Newcastle in the end as it wasn't clear what the other rash was. Turns out she has 'fifth disease' as well as chicken pox. Poor Ophelia :( She's still cheery as can be, thankfully. We didn't get home until about half ten. Long day!
