The Curse of Book Group.

I've blogged before about the St Albans book group I've joined. It's very good, with a broad spectrum of members and a diverse selection of books.

But it's cursed. Or maybe the pub is. Or maybe I am. One of the three anyway. You, see since I joined the group about 7 months ago, the day of the meet, 2nd Tuesday of the month, has been blighted with illness. We're not a sickly family by any stretch but so far our second Tuesday curse has led to:
  • wifey being so ill I had to cancel my first trip;
  • wifey being sick and the wee lass following her whilst I was at my second book group- my brother was baby sitting and I knew he'd had a torrid time when I came home and he was wearing a set of my clothes and;
  • last night the vomit fairy visited the wee lass once more.
I've only been to about 4 meetings so far, so there is definitely a statistical anomaly occurring here since the wee lass has only been sick twice in her life so far.

Which brings me on to the question to ponder- every single bout of technicolour yawning that's occurred in our household has happened in the dead of night- is vomit allergic to sun light or something?

  3. I think someone's trying to tell you something! And yes it's always at night and you always feel 100 times worse.
    Hope everyone is better now :)

  4. If it didn't happen at night when you have had no sleep, you would be rational and calm. But as it happens at night you have to cope with vomit and the irrational thoughts of; as my 80 year old Dad would say, galloping dogrot, high temperatures and visiting your the hospital because your child is sicker than any other child in the whole world!
    Good luck with the book club..
