Flu

Sorry for the disappearance last week.  The whole family was struck down with the flu and I spent most of the week comatose on the couch.

These are some photos I took before we all got sick.  I realised it is seriously hard to take good shots of kids jumping on a trampoline - especially if you are also jumping on the trampoline with your camera at the same time.  This is clearly a skill I need to work on.

Here is my favourite conversation with Minty from the week, which happened while I was trying to give her some sage advice about relationships:

Me: you know your friends will still like you even if you stand up for yourself sometimes

Minty: but sometimes they'd like me to sit down

Indeed.
