    Well the guest at our christening rang NHS Direct and seemingly after answering their questions and describing his symptoms they don't think it's swine flu. Phew for the moment at least. Am in the West Mids and I know there's a lot of cases here so it's only a matter of time before some one I know catches it.
    Had a nice walk round our local allotment. Got speaking to an old guy who gave me some very large yellow courgettes :T He was lovely and let us have a good nose around his plot :D I do wish I had the time to have an allotment. I like the camraderie they have there.

    Hermione - hope it's not swine flu and hope you feel better asap.
    Churchmouse - hope your DS gets over his swine flu asap
    Hilstep - glad your ex-FIL is more comfortable.

    Quick pigeon update for Taplady/Taplord and anyone else who's [STRIKE]nosey[/STRIKE] interested.

    6 arrived on Saturday doing well will go and take pics in a min, held a couple today but didn't have the bottle to pick them up only passed to me by DH :o.

    We've got a red (brown looking) one called ruby ;):D, but not sure if it a boy/girl yet so it might change to robbie :D, also named one sid after sid vicious as he's still got baby feathers on head which looks like a mohican :D

    3 girls in dd's school have the dreaded swine lurgy - including one in her class! dd(12) was sent home yesterday with sore throat and ears.... yikes .... saw the dr yesterday and it's an ear infection. I do worry about her though as on top of all her ENT problems she has only one kidney. Colleague at work has it too as does her dd ... oh and a defendant in my court today but he didn't turn up.
    I'm going to feed our children non-organic food and with the money saved take them to the zoo - half man half biscuit 2008
