Go away, norovirus!

Our fave guests departed this morning, alas, the unwanted one remains.

Me to Mr B: Darling, how are you feeling?

Mr B: Kind of fluey.

Me: That's the first sign! Do you want me to make you a nest in the living room so you are close to the loo?

Mr B: No, I think I will be fine.

Rapid feet pass through the living room, where I have a nest on the sofa

Plaintive Mr B from loo: Darling, do you have a bucket?

I am making him his own nest now.

*cuddles* *pets* You need to hydrate! Crackers & oven-dried bread also help survive the unpleasantness. *hugs*

Oh dear. Both of you have my complete sympathy. We went through the norovirus earlier this year and it was pretty damn horrible what with the twinset and their mom and dad all having it at the same time. I was the only one who seemed immune so I played nurse which mostly involved doing copious amounts of laundry because the twinset NEVER made it to the loo in time.

*hugs to you both*

Hope you both recover quickly. Sending virtual cups of tea and thoughts of wellness and energy....

Oh dear :(

I hope you're better soon x

*pets you from far away* Feel better soon.

Oh nooooo! But you have to admit, Mr B's determination and subsequent "I will be fine" fail is a little bit amusing.

I hope it passes swiftly... oh dear, no pun intended. I'm home sick today, but with a plain cold rather than norovirus.

You are a good, nest making woman.

I have identified our Typhoid Mary! IT IS BLONDIE, DAMN HIS EYES. Apparently a few people at his Launceston office are sick as well. Don't worry, I plan on killing him dead just as soon as I've got the energy.

*hugs you tight and piles you with pillows and broth*

Oh dear! Nests are definitely required. I have a blankie that comes in to mine when I am particularly ill.

I shouldn't laugh but... Mr Brammers...

You are a good and faithful nest-making woman of kindness. Hugs for both of you, from afar since (1) I don't want germs (2) you don't need any visitors at a time like this.

Oh dear - how grim! I hope you are all on your way to feeling better now! Little bowls of rice are a good back to food stepping stone, I find.

A doctor of mine recommends the BRAT diet - bread, rice, apples, tea. Dry toast for the gluten, rice for the starch, apples for the pectin and tea for the tannin. Apparently all things which assist in the clearing up of runny tummies.

Is it wrong that I think you two, plague-stricken, unfortunates have nests in the living room is the cutest thing ever?
