A sick chick and a dud do
Frontierlibrarian had a few scary hours yesterday after hearing that Mads has Scarlet Fever. So awfully reminiscent of death bed scenes in 'Little Women' and its contemporaries. But she tells me she is just a little bit scarlet and that her medicine is tasty and yummy. Thank goodness for the resilience that comes with being five years old.

My idea of a good time at the works Christmas do is dancing with my GFs, around our handbags, to the Village People, ABBA and other eighties music, wihout spilling our chardies. I'm not so much into STANDING for ages listening to sycophantic speeches.
