Today is great,
Today is sunny,
The only poorly one is mummy.
Today is happy
Though I feel crappy
And someone needs a nice new nappy.

Today I have mostly been spouting doggerel for the amusement of the under-5s. I've read books and sung songs, and we've had minimal tantrums and minimal TV. I've also got two loaves of bread and a rhubarb clafouti in the oven. I think I could have a cup of tea now. And a chest infection.

And get dressed. Emer's well but snotty, and my pyjamas are her number one hankie choice. Perhaps I've inadvertently soaked them in balsam. They're certainly cotton-soft.

(One nice thing about this year's illnesses is that they've all been Going Around. Last year I got horribly sick with things no-one else was suffering from; this year I have company.)

Glad your girls are getting better, and hopefully giving you a chance to improve, too.
Please - what IS a clafouti?

It's a French dessert that's like a cross between a cake and a custard.

This is my recipe of choice, particularly the low-fat version (I find the full-fat one too "eggy").
