Breakdowns Mechanical and Medical

There's been a lot going on over the past couple of days...

I was driving back home after doing some shopping and a little walk down by the river and the Hyundai hyundied, luckily just around the corner. It just cut out and wouldn't start again. The RACQ man who came out said that the timing belt was broken, and it's a major job to fix. So the car is now at the garage.

So we've been swapping emails and talking to Ric and Cate to agree where to have the cat towed to and about money etc. and they have agreed to foot the bill. They are problably cursing us and imagining us hacking the car about like rally drivers, but this absolutely isn't the case, in fact I never knowingly exceed the speed limit after Cate told me about the cops' zero-latitude attitude, which is quite difficult in a hilly place like this!

Secondly Tuesday night's post-swimming vomit incident was not swimming induced, as Eloise was sick again on Wednesday, in a minor way, then very listless and quite feverish yesterday. She hasn't been herself at all, so we had a quiet day and she's off Nursery today. She's needed a lot of cuddles and she's been off her food, having just a few mouthfuls of food though she's been drinking milk with no problems. She'll perk up after some baby-paracetamol and that will last a few hours but then get feverish again.

Still it looks like she's on the mend now.

We were going to go and see 28 Weeks Later at the flicks today whilst Eloise was in the nursery, but that plan has fallen by the wayside.
