ARGH!

James has had flu since the weekend. I have a rough, sore claggy throat. GLARE!

In happier news, I live in the best suburb ever.

I came home to find a lump of something cold wrapped in plastic in the letterbox. I checked for cables*, then lifted it out. It was a lump of clay. There was a brochure to explain it. This years public art festival is celebrating the horse, and they would like everyone to sculpt little horses, which will then be fired and displayed in October.

In addition, we will have horse and cart rides on October 11 and a horse parade on October 18!

Now all I need to do is not succumb to the flu, and learn how to sculpt in the next few days!

* My family do law and politics and I am from the 70s and 80s, this is automatic, much the same way that years of living in Australia sees me shake out my shoes every morning.

Thanks. I am trying not to need a day off work, because we are understaffed and deadline is hell, but Friday may not be optional if J is any guide.

You should come round in October! I think it will be fun!

Oh dear - I do understand deadline weeks, but look after yourself anyway.

October sounds like fun - I can't quite make promises for those weekends yet, because I have an incipient new niece or nephew due sometime around then that has a prior claim :) I _have_ put the dates in my diary, though.

Excellent! Here's hoping the baby is a Sunday's child!

:) It's older cousins tend more towards the impish, but are mostly fun to have around nonetheless.
