Viral Oscillations

Crumbs from your table Eloise continues her downhill slope and being a responsible mother Nicole took her to the doctor whilst I was over at Coochiemudlo Island on Monday prancing about taking photographs of rocks, trees, boats, more rocks, more trees, more boats, a dead bird, then some rocks and trees and just for an encore, some boats. Then, for a change, a cliff of red muddy clay which was quite interesting to look at, what with being red, but to be filed under rocks.

Anyway the upshot is that Eloise has a flu virus and indeed 'twas a good job that we kept her off nursery as she has not been in the best of shape, although Nicole did take her to the beach, and yesterday with Nicole feeling ten times better we went to the beach again.

And the pattern seems to be that she wakes up feeling pretty rotten and miserable, takes drugs, perks up by about ten o'clock whereupon doggy duties are performed, possibly including a playground then crash and burn in time for lunch.

Today Nicole was suitably improved to return to work so I made my excuses to College and stayed home to tend my poor sickening infant. We went to the brook and did the doggy thing then to the playground where we ran into Olga, a local mum of our acquaintance, and Eloise made a new friend who she played with (and yes he was coughing already before you play the contagion card).

After lunch three hours of sleeping was done, and it was back to illness and misery but perking up again as we went to pick Nicole up from work.

I went into the darkroom this evening and processed B&W from Coochie and B&W from Val Windowlight stuff. Should see how it came out on Friday when I will go in to do another couple of films and contact sheet the backlog.
