30 March 2011

Another misty day. Nick got his transfer offer letter and the salary was quite reasonable. They are also throwing in a month's accommodation in London. the down side is that he has to return to Tokyo for April 11th. After lunch I took Emily to Kingdom Come, a softplay centre in Abergavenny. Predictably, she would only go on the equipment with me, but after a while she got talking to a girl of about four and they went on it together for a while. A good thing too, as I was feeling rather ropey. By the time we left I was very nauseous and forced myself to quickly do some shopping before hurrying home. Unfortunately Mum and Dad had just gone out, so I parked Emily in front of the TV and lay down. When they got back I felt progressively worse and around 5:30 I was horribly sick many times. Obviously, I had the same bug that Emily had two days ago. I felt achy and shivery all over and Mum was very good and got Emily's tea and then bathed her. I retired to bed at the same time as Emily, with a bucket beside me for good measure, but instead of sleeping deeply as I expected, I had a terrible night of tossing and turning and I don't think I notched up one complete hour of sleep.
