Z is ill temperature running at 100+ and her tonsils infested - she came down with it on Sunday after the fireworks. So K took her to the docs today - and so an amazing coincidence was discovered. Every year on the 9th of November Z goes to the docs with tonsillitis!

What? Yup at the same time every year she gets it! How is this possible? We've jokingly said next year we'll have to tell the school - she will be ill on the 9th and get homework prepared for it!

Even so a very weird thing indeed!!!

How is it the body can get ill on the same week every year? Are illnesses cyclic? Has an event caused this to occur? Clearly are bodies work in time with the year too - or is it she has some allergy to fireworks displays?

Very strange!

The bad news is our cursed luck with gigs continues as we will have to stay home tomorrow and miss Alabama 3! Gutted! Will we get to ANY gigs this year? So far only Stiff Little Fingers have escaped the curse!

Oh and the boss has ramped up surf control today - so i couldn't get on here. Seems it's been pretty quiet tho - guess winter is setting in. I'm gonna try using cloak and try to get around it. Worse even than no efests was being told at 3pm the whole issue of Girl had to change to a Christmas issue - git! No pint of Black Prince for me tonight!

Hoping Z is well for Sunday as we are visiting my 98 year old gran and sorting out my dad's estate, legally, and I have a bizarre answerphone message to listen to - where someone who knows me (possibly from school) has left a message calling my dad's death ENIGMATIC - the rest of the message is garbled - so i have to give it a listen and see if i recognise the voice or can learn me about the fast talker whose accent is too hard to understand. More when I've had a listen.

Oh and i came second in the frostbite archery - a natural oh and Z has been named Head Girl for her year. Clearly her brains come from me.
