Hugs To All This Wonderfully Wet Sabbath

IT'S SATURDAY & I'M POOPED!!!

Another week has come and gone..........where, when, how............ I do not know!!!

We have been kept busy this week with Elijah "things", like playing soccer at the soccer ground and in the backyard (on the days it didn't rain), taking him to visit with his father, train spotting and especially watching him carefully and taking him to the doctor when he developed a ferocious cold with a horrible cough.

As per usual when he gets like this his asthma flares up so it has been three hourly doses of "calling all robots" (what Mum Lisa calls it when she has to give him his Ventolin through the spacer). The visit to the doctor revealed that he has an ear infection (and judging by the cough a chest infection, though he wouldn't stay still, or stop crying long enough for the doctor to get a good listen), so he now has antibiotics to take and a special syrup for the asthma for the next few days.

The rain this week has been absolutely magnificent and I am looking forward to more of the same this coming week. I love grey, grey rainy days, they remind me of the Melbourne from the 50's to the 70's that I loved so much. I hate the thought that with global warming we are going to lose all that and so much more!
