Today I've mostly bin...

[LAT]

Oh dear, hope you feel better soon Chazzie.

..........sneezing

So do these raspberry things help with vitamin c levels?

Me too. Flipping typical, half term too. Just been out on a mission for Ecinacea...

[SparkOut]

I've got a cough and cold that's been with me since Christmas, and last couple of days has hit hard again, with flu-like symptoms.

So this pie, are you just going to quote 3.14..etc to a few dozen decimal places or are you really going to cook rabbit in pastry?

[Bunnylump]

SparkOut, you are a bad, bad man.

.....trying out my new soup maker. Feeling thoroughly traumatised just by reading the instruction booklet.

[Bunnylump]

I find that a pan works very well!

[giraffe]

I have always used a pan, but all my friends have been raving about soup makers so I gave in and asked for one for my birthday.

[chazzie]

I hadn't heard of soup makers until your post.....and then wondered whether this is the new bread maker type trend.....and then wondered whether anyone has come up with a combined bread and soup maker? Perhaps I should patent the idea?

[giraffe]

It does smoothies as well as soup.

[chazzie]

Well seeing as you asked........boy pilot chickened out twice trying to land in Gibraltar this morning so ended up in Malaga! .....so a little eventful

More fun travelling some how ....and wondering whether it was the boy pilot who wimped out last week....the plane managed to land in atrocious weather in Gib. Which at first seemed good news .....but they then announced damage due to the landing....so "rescue plane" their words despatched from the UK to Malaga to get us to the Uk.... So another unexpected trip to Malaga

Was quite disappointed with the rescue plane as it didn't look like any of the Thunderbirds!!!

Still made it back safely if a tad late

[Bunnylump]

I would have expected Scott, Virgil AND Alan after that announcement!

[SparkOut]

Doing the same. Not being dead. Oh well, so what

[giraffe]

I'm glad you're not dead.

[Bunnylump]

So am I!

Hey, come on International Man of Mystery, we can see you're having a pooey time, and I'm sure I speak for us all when I say that we all care and are all wishing you well and sending virtual hugs. xx

They must help a teeny little bit?

[Bunnylump]

Anyway, whoever you are that is casting spells and jinxes on my department, please stop it. 2 weeks ago one of our TAs had a perforated stomach ulcer and is still in hospital (poor girl's only 24!) The day before yesterday, another one had a car crash and now has a whiplash injury (and if signed off.) Today, another one fell down the stairs and has seriously dislocated her ankle and is having an operation tomorrow. What is occurring?? I'm starting to get a bit nervous!

[SparkOut]

Thanks. And urgh, take care bunny

[Bunnylump]

...Now really worried. Am I in some sort of sickness loaded parallel universe? Found myself SIMULTANEOUSLY trying to deal with a student having a grand mal seizure and another one fainting!

On a lighter note (well, if you think that listening to someone telling year 7s all about witch trials and reading them a horror story in the dark lighter! ) I got to watch a presentation from William Hussey, author of the Witchfinder serieshttp://www.williamhussey.co.uk/ today. Interesting!

Is it a full moon Bunny?

[Bunnylump]

Strangely enough, it is! Aaaaaoooooooooooowwwwwww!!

[Bunnylump]

...To yet another funeral. RIP Horace.
