angharad_gamAndy and I went to see Les Miserables last night (the film that is - I did see the stage version when it was in Adelaide lo these many years ago). Now I have all the earworms. Even Andy has earworms, which is rather amusing because he doesn't like musicals, and only came with me because he is a good husband. All day he has been randomly going "Dum dee dum dee dum dee dum...singing a song of angry men..." It was actually very good, although Rusty was distinctly lacklustre and his voice was rather shown up by that of some of the other cast who were clearly trained singers. Anne Hathaway was awesome.
My parents have been staying with us over the long weekend. They are flying out early tomorrow morning, but it seems fairly certain they won't be able to get home. The flight won't be an issue, but all the roads leading from Brisbane to the town where they live are currently closed due to flooding.
Ashwyn was ill most of last week with some kind of stomach bug. He spent most of Monday afternoon alternating throwing up with having stomach cramps. Then he more or less refused to eat most of the week. He capped it off on Friday with a bout of diarrhoea and then a massive vomit at 2am (which I was fortunate enough to sleep through). After that he seemed perfectly fine and has been eating more or less non-stop ever since. He seems to have gotten the impression that this was caused by him eating chips off the ground at the swimming pool. Now he has sworn off 'ground chips', so I suppose there's a silver lining even to a house full of vomit.
School goes back tomorrow. Andy is deeply relieved. Me less so. When the kids are on holiday I can often get up and have a quiet breakfast and go off to work before they wake up. Now it will be hauling reluctant Erins out of bed, and getting breakfasts and chivvying and so on, and maybe ten minutes to read and eat.
