Coughs and sniffles

Stephen is still feeling pants. He's been at home for the past couple of days shivering, sniffing and generally feeling none too special. Getting a cold is bad enough, but getting a summer cold is particularly horrible. For both of us!! We'll be having a quiet weekend I think - as well as his cold, we also have to deal with a tropical storm Hanna bearing down on us. Its due to hit on Saturday and we're expecting a lot of rain and high winds. I went out for a quick "batten down the hatches" pre-storm back yard tidy up just now and ended up wet. I picked up the tarp which usually covers our wood pile, but which we folded neatly a few weeks ago, and loads of water poured down my leg. It was nasty!
