Heidi has got a cold unfortunately so her little nose is all bunged up with something or other, occasionally causing her a great deal of discomfort. It sounds alot worse than it is (I think) as she will snuffle and rattle in her sleep, sneezing and then a little cough though she does not show any distress or unhappiness.

Thankfully she does not have a temperature and most of the time she seems normal and happy and as hungry as ever. We still use the in the ear thermometer that we used in Bristol as this is fairly accurate and only takes a second to do, without waking her up. We also check her manually and I think she is on the mend now.

I collected my phone from the shop in the end and have been trying to fidget about with it since, but more important things come along.

With the cruddy weather Heidi has been wrapped up warm but out and about with the rain cover firmly stuck down.

Dave, Jo and James came around today and that was nice as we have not seen them for a long while. A little later Emily popped by with two pairs of fluffy shoes to wear. They look more like slippers I suppose but can be affixed to her feet without dropping off I reckon.

Heidi has been so lucky with all her gifts, and cards and we have started to write on her behalf so bear with us.
