Liam was sick just before I went to Canberra. I was sick while I was in Canberra (just for a day fortunately). Erin was sick over the weekend, and now Ashwyn is sick. He vomited strange pink mush all over the bathroom at bath time this evening, but mostly he is snuffly/feverish.

And poor old Liam got bitten by a dog yesterday. He had a playdate - his first ever - with his friend Liam. Yes, he has a friend called Liam. 'He is the same as me', Liam says, and maybe that is why he likes him. But the other Liam's family have a dog, a young rather enthusiastic dog apparently, and poor Liam is all covered in scratches and little puncture marks all over his head under his hair. He seems rather blase about it, which is small comfort to one's parental guilt, which seems to revolve less around the fact that he got hurt, than around the fact that we weren't there to look after him when he got hurt. This is one that's not ever going to go away I think. I remember seeing my grandmother comforting my mother as she suffered through one of her funny (and at the time unexplained) tummy episodes, and thinking we will always be our parents' babies. In fact my grandmother once said 'you're never truly an adult until your parents are gone'.

In other news the phone still has not turned up. I have also managed to lose our Furi bread knife. However, as if by compensation while I was away Andy rearranged the furniture and found a purple cardigan I was missing and a mediaeval cookery book i had given up as lost for good.

Yesterday Liam told me that he didn't have a heart.
"What happened to it?" I asked.
"Someone kicked me and it fell out," he said.
"Well how does your blood keep pumping around your body?" says I.
"it's just sort of jumping about."
