ailbheAfter a bath and swimming, Linnea's lip looked a lot better as all the dried blood washed away. So she was willing to see people, and we all socialised much more as a group.
We did a lot of swimming and had only two big group meals, but that was fine. The children enjoyed the place and the pool and spent serious quality time with their aunt and uncle for possibly the first time, really - a rushed few hours here and there isn't the same.
On the last afternoon the girls and I painted some ceramics which should arrive in the post soonish. We got home ok on Monday, nice and early, and Maria met us with our keys - I'd lost mine in the post-hospital panic and Rob had given her his set instead of spares, because we were so frantic. She fed the cats brilliantly.
Rob had caught a cold while we were away so he felt awful. Lucy came to visit on Monday evening and was useful in making encouraging noises when he said he might not go to work. He slept in the spare room and Emer was in with me and Astrid. And he didn't go to work, he stayed in bed or pottered gently around with tissues and tea.
