not the pox.....maybe.....
Just back from the quacks......this time my own doctor. He doesn't think poor Lils has got chicken pox... more likely impetigo or scalded skin syndrome.....probably...he's not totally sure. I took her back today as it's been going on a bit and not following the the expected course and the spots are still coming...(hope no ones eating their breakfast and reading this ;). If it's what he says then she's highly infectious. We'd been taking a more relaxed approach to hugs and kisses around this house as we presumed the 'chicken pox' was on it's way out...OK...time to revise that then !
Antibiotics a go go here then but her school residential trip to Dartmoor all next week is still in the balance poor love. Lets hope they kick in and she can go.
Right, off talk of scabs and the like (sorry about that, it's just what's going on around here) and onto some pretty pics of the beach yeaterday. It was not too cold as it happens and the water was flat calm as you will see. The intended hour turned into two, not another soul to be seen.
trying for a nice pic of 'knitting on beach'....but houndy boy just wouldn't shift...too busy hanging around in case a bit of sandwich came his way..
might as well get the whole dog in shot then.....oh and in case you are cringing at the colour mix wool wise, I'll show more later...I think it's working..weird but true.
I did ask Lils permission before posting a pic of her looking less than best !
lucky you living so close to a beach - I am insanely jealous
that colour combo does look interesting - am intrigued
poor impetigo girl, one of mine had that before and as far as I recall it went really quickly once we got her on the "stuff", hope all is well again soon
(from one house of ailments to another!)

Poor girl! Whatever she has, I hope it gets better soon (and no one else catches it!).

Well I won't say a pox upon your house as it seems some one has already said it:)
Love the photo of Harry standing over your kniting.....

Poor little sausage.. I hope 'out damn spot' does the trick and Lili can go to the ball (Dartmoor) after all! If not .. I am very happy to take her place!
Love
