Illness Stalks the Land

8 March, 2020
Posted in: Boys, Daniel, Mr. Waffle

Daniel was quite sick a fortnight ago. He had a really high temperature and was miserable. Now, I can’t help wondering whether it was the wretched Corona virus but he had an upset stomach as well and no cough, so maybe it was just common or garden flu.

In what I hope is unrelated news, Mr. Waffle found a large dead rat in the utility room. It is our fervent hope that the cat brought it in to the house rather than that it died of natural causes in our utility room having lived a full and happy life in our house. You will recall that Mr. Waffle has form in thinking quite large rodents are not rats. He was in no doubt about this corpse.

    A home you wouldn’t want to be self isolating in for two weeks, or not without the I Spy book of vermin.
    I hope your father is doing well.

    The I Spy Book of Vermin is even now winging its way to us as self-isolation becomes increasingly likely. My father is not too bad all things considered, thanks.
