Sickness & Health
The week started with James developing a bit of a temperature, and Anna having to organise a visit to the doctor to get some anti-biotics. Fortunately, the treatment organised through NHS Direct seems to have hit-the-spot, and he has now fully recovered.
Meanwhile, I was participating in the annual City 2 Surf run from the city centre out to Bondi. I would have liked to have done it more quickly, but I did (just) manage to make it in under 100 minutes; which means that I qualify for a reasonable start position next year.
Despite her exposure to the cats at Barkers Green, Caitlin still doesn't seem to be too comfortable around animals. Anna, her Mum and the kids visited a local “petting farm” during the week and Caitlin was, by all accounts, beside herself with fright at the idea of having a rabbit placed on her lap to stroke. I'm sure she'll grow out of this, but we can't help but wonder what it is that has made her so fearful of these encounters.
