I’m sure you will be relieved to hear of my improvement as you must be as sick of this as I am. I did spend a considerable part of last night sitting up on the sofa coughing with a tissue poked up my nose but all my other symptoms have abated. Hurrah.  Poor Princess is, however, feeling very unwell. In what must be a new low, Peter Pan went on this morning at 8.55.

This is what happens, if you let your child watch too many Disney, DVDs, please note American accent.
