This Song Has No Title

A red letter day in our family yesterday as Nathalie had to call in sick. That's the first day she has had sick since starting primary school at the age of 4 which is pretty good going.

As she works with small children she is open to all sorts of infections, colds etc and there haven't been many days since last July when she began her NVQ that she hasn't had a cold or sniffles but she's kept going up until now. Last Friday she came home from work to say that three children in the two year old age group had been sent home with high temperatures and by 8 o' clock Friday night she was in bed where she stayed on and off until this morning when she returned to work.

Fifteen + years without a day sick from school, college or work - well done.

  1. Up here there are all sorts of "bugs" going round. My wife had her first cold for eight years a couple of weeks ago and it was followed shortly afterwards by another.

    There are five of us here at the moment and only my youngest daughter has not succumbed to some sort of illness this month.

    Perhaps Natalie's autoimmune system gave way to weight of numbers. I wonder whether or not we actually do need a cold snap to "kill off all the bugs".

  2. Hi Shy. I think you are probably right in your last paragraph both about the immune system and the wanting a cold snap.

    Hope you and yours get through this bout of bugs.

  3. Well done to Natalie! Shy is definitely right about the cold cycle, wet and warm is a paradise for bugs so even though the weather isn't exactly warm it also isn't cold enough to knock a few of the nasties on the head.

  5. Yes - unfortunately I couldn't respond at the time. Thank you for your comment.

    I wish we would have some cold weather soon.
