    Thanks all :).

    I put my light out at 9.30 pm but my sore throat and runny nose got worse in the night so I was a bit restless. It's developed into a full blown head cold this morning :(.

    But at least I don't have to work today :)

    It's because it's so far away, you can't get to them quickly in an emergency :eek:.

    I'm sure we worry quite unnecessarily though, they are very capable of looking after themselves.
