Out of Action (by )

I've been puking and the other and its not fun, feeling freezing cold when Al asures me its warm and then feeling the shards of glass twisting in my gut. I start to feel better and try to get out of bed only to go dizzy with a head that feels twenty times as heavy as it is and a tingling all over - suddenly hot and disorientated.

What I feel slighly guilty about though is that I have finially got my hands on the Harry Potter book and resent having to stop reading for the next wave of cramps - boiling hungry eats at my insides but unfortunatly its no food at the mo as I just spew it all back up again - sigh.

poor Alaric is now attempting to work on his clever rig of internet and generator etc... with the thought that he is now on his own with trying to clear downstairs - I mean I know I couldnt do any of the heavy lifting anyway but at least I could do the small things like clearing off cabinates - now I can't even do that.

Plus he has now lost quiet a bit of work time.

Oh well I suppose I'll just have to continue ready - I swear the woman arranges for these books to come out when I'm sick!

Flood diverter (by )

We've built a flood diverter:

Flood diverter

Heavy rain is predicted tomorrow, and if it floods again, this thing should help to divert the stream around behind the house.

Thing is, it reminds me of the scenery from the first part of Half Life: 2. I feel compelled to find some yellow paint and put a lambda symbol on it.

Harry Potter Sorrow (by )

This was written offline on Monday:

Well as I had to be 'rescued' from Cheltenham on Friday I obviously do not yet have the book that I have been waiting for - for an age Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. This is really really frustrating me!

Ontop of that I have started to feel really ill - stomache variety - apparently our tap water is a)contaminated and b)about to run out and there are riots at Asda and things over the bottled water which sounds really scary.

We are going to try and get some food in as obviously all the food in the fridge and freezers is lost not becuase we don't have any electricity as we have a generator but becuase the appliences themselves got wet and are therefore not safe to plug in.

I am hoping that I can finially pick up a copy of Harry Potter whilst out!

A hard Decision (by )

This Post was written off line on Sunday:

Last night me and Alaric made a hard descision, at about 1 in the morning we phoned my perants and asked them to come and get Jean in the morning.

One of Barbaras friends had invited us to dinner to help out and she had made a lovely meal but before Jean could eat any off it she started vomiting (as in Jean vomited god English is a bad language for this). She rallied trumphantly and was happily playing when it happened again. Five times in all before she was being wrapped in a blanket to be taken home in and daddy was topless (he told all the ladys to restrain them selves cheecky boy!).

We were up very late with puking onto the towls, into the fire place, down mummys cleavage etc... This was really scaring us but we couldn't get through to nhs direct and she was still perking up after each time so we didn't think we should contact the emergancy servacies etc...

But realising that it was probably from the flood water or just the stress of her home being pulled to pieces we phoned my perants and asked them to come and get her.

This was a very hard decision for us as this will be the longest we've been apart from her since she was born :'(
