A Snow/Sick/Rain Bound Update

Oh dear, things did get tough!

Ellie's bad case of strep throat morphed into Luke with a gooey ear infection and burst ear drum and a fridge brimming full of psychadelic pink anti-biotics.

After 7 days of solitary confinement made up of 2 days snow, 3 days illness and 2 days of 'almost over illness' but torrential stairrod rain so we ain't going anywhere: The sun came out...and so did we!

Yesterday was bliss on legs, brunch with a friend, followed by a trip to Marbles Kids Museum with said friend and her daughter (a classmate of Ellie's). The kids played and played to the point of exhaustion which is always a good thing! In the evening while the kids were tucked up safely in bed the rest of this Nation's population was watching something called, errrrr 'The Superbowl', something to do with baking perhaps? (just kidding!) which freed up enough 'cable' to enable me to finally be able to access the 'Movies on Demand' channel. Something that has been out of my grasp all week.

It would seem that most of the time Time Warner Cable can't keep up with demand for Movies on Demand (did that make sense?) which apparently leaves alot of unhappy customers including me. So out of my list of '10 films to watch before Ian gets home' I finally got to see Julie and Julia (GREAT) and Love Happens (not so great).

Today (Monday) came and we are thankfully back to health, school and some sort of normality. *sigh*
