The dreaded "lurge"!

Yup, thats what gg's house has been full of this week!

Robert took ill on Saturday, complaining of a sore throat and generally feeling ill, things got worse and he missed his rugby training on Sunday. (He must have been bad, coz he misses THAT for nothing. He broke his arm a couple of years ago and would have even played with that had I let him!!!!) He has been off school all week, with sore throat, high tempratures and sore, achy bones......The flu! Unfortunately for Bob, he didn't feel up to celebrating his 9th birthday on Tuesday either, so hopefully once he is better we will have a belated birthday tea for him.

Ronan managed school on Monday, but I got a phonecall from the school gates to come and collect him as he wasn't fit to play basketball.....you guessed it.....The flu, too! He has also been off school all week and won't be there tomorrow either, much to his disappointment as he was due to swim in the finals of the front crawl and relay team for the P7 school team tomorrow morning. He is really upset about this, but no way is he fit enough to do it, he has lay on the couch most of the week and hardly eaten a thing (not like him!!!!)

Lets hope thay are both feeling better on Sunday so they can enjoy a joint birthday treat....we are off to Murrayfield to watch Scotland V France in their opening game of the 6 Nations Rugby Tournament 2008.
