I ended up calling the locum doctor out tonight, so I have an offical diagnosis of strep throat and a script for some antibiotics. Willow was totally enamoured with him, as she is with any medical professional. She wanted to know why he was here, what he was doing, why mummy’s throat was sore, a million whys. The doctor pronounced her ‘rather cute’.  I jokingly asked her if she wanted to be a doctor when she grew up – she said yes, he said no you don’t!

This morning while I was getting her ready for FDC I was whispering to her in an effort to save my ailing voice. She started whispering back to me! I should try whispering to her more often!

I had uni this morning – in the tutorial we have been split up into groups. My group consists of 2 African guys and 2 Australian/caucasian guys. Quite odd for a social work subject! It has been great learning about African traditions and culture. One is from the Congo and one is from Sudan, so it is a good lesson not to assume that simply because a person is African they will be the same as the next African person.
