camera's broke

No picture til we get a new camera - old one gave up. R is pleased cos he gets to play gear junkie until he finds another one. Looked at first replacement car possibility today, but decided clutch and brakes didnt look good enough. We of course only want to pay pittance for something that will last the whole period - our previous car was such a bargain! Oh well, its a squashed bargain now. Its getting cold and we think going to the supermarket on the bike in the freezing dark sucks, so transport is required. Little M is better now, back at school and she has had a breakthrough on the reading front. Very proud of herself. We had an eventful Saturday, after she and I had to go to emergency dept with her having an allergic reaction to penicillin - not that severe she came up in an allover red and (apparently) itchy rash, with high fever. They were very good - highlight of her week was they gave her lunch in hospital. Must have been good it was the first she had eaten for about 5 days really, now she just wants to go there for food all the time. Funny things kids. They must be adapting cos they have decided they want to have school dinners - which they adamantly refused when we arrived as 'gross'. Admittedly quality has been improved after huge furore here on quality of school dinners, but still not great. Other than that pretty busy just getting on with life.
