Frost has a sniffle

Frost has been blowing his nose this morning. He is super-vigilant about washing his hands and talks about germs. In the morning paper there was an article about rhinovirus surviving 48 hours on household surfaces. In a study of people with early cold symptoms they found the virus on fridge handles, remote controls, bathroom faucets, light switches and other commonly touched surfaces a few days later.

At this point I guess we just wait and see who gets what and what happens. There is nothing more I can do about it.

Meanwhile, Mum arrives from Australia this afternoon. She is coming via San Francisco and should be landing there soon. That will keep us happy and busy for the next few days and allow me to get things packed and ready if we do manage to keep well enough to go.

Here is the Frostism of the morning:

FROST: Daddy gets to do lots of special things in his secret times.
ME: When are his secret times?
FROST: Its between 10.30pm and 2am when we are not here.
ME: What do you think he does?
FROST: He gets to eat snack, do stuff on his computer and play video games.
