Ifan was sick in the morning and slept most of the day. I found out that he had fallen off a chair and hit his head on the dining room quarry-tile floor (next to diamond in the hardest-substances-known-to-man league) the night before. Oh! Joy of joys, concussion, hair line fractures, hematomas, the usual things sprang to mind… I was slightly concerned, shall we say, and decided to keep him off school for the day.

That night Mika was sick. Concerns slightly abated, but now both were deemed “off school” for a day.
