:shock: FIVE loads Kathryn? That is a lot of washing! You must have a very big clothes' line.

Glad to hear the sicknesses are clearing up for you other ladies. Hopefully you're all through the worst of it now.

Gabrielle's head is much better (and would be even better if Zeke stopped poking the bruise and saying "sore! poor Dowl"... he can't say Gabrielle so calls her Dowl or sometimes Missy).

Gabrielle has a wonderful kindy teacher and I learnt yesterday that the teacher's 5 year old son fell off his bunk bed onto the bed below on Friday night and died from internal bleeding and a ruptured spleen. It's such a tragedy and my heart goes out to this wonderful lady who has lost her only child. So I'll be heading off to a funeral later this week.

It's hard to know what to say to her. I'll have to do some thinking and praying between now and then, I think. There's such a fine line between offering support and comfort and intruding on someone's private grief, especially when you don't know them really well IYKWIM.

Anyway, hope that didn't put a downer on your evening. Just something that has been on my mind constantly since I heard.
