That cooking show - I'm alive and .... cooking????

Nope, coughing!!!!! If anyone out there hasn't heard yet, the whooping cough immunisations we had as kids need to be boostered - just like Tetanus - who'd have thought? When I had my flu shot at the end of April, the Doctor - who comes to school to inject us - mentioned that there is whooping cough here on the coast and that as I had 2 young grandchildren I should have a booster shot.
Okay, all good - first week of the holidays was only 4 weeks away, so plenty of time... of course NOT!!! Just prior to the end of term I had been grumbling about having an annoying cough - dry, frustrating - but suddenly, it's a full blown chest infection and not prepared to let me off that lightly, the test I had just as a precaution was positive. Of course, contagious, notifiable disease, all that - bed rest, lots of fluids, broken sleep and NO energy at all. [On the upside, I have watched both full series of Downton Abbey which I thoroughly enjoyed - and subsequently dreamed about the night I had watched the last episode. Thankfully, the makers are filming the third series to be shown in January - might even get to see some whilst we are in England over Christmas.]

Let me tell you that there really is a whoop in whooping cough and I encourage everyone who reads this to get immunised - NOW!!!!

Kerry, you will be pleased to learn that I made your paper bag swap present yesterday - sans buttons, because as you know the one you sent was broken in the mail - but I am really happy with the end result.
Photos to come, once the parcel has been handed over and opened in Sydney next week.

Wish the other girls luck - I'm hoping that my coughing will have settled right down by then - it's just above the annoying stage at the moment.

My next post will be photo heavy as there are heaps of pics as I haven't uploaded for months - but I have been busy!
