It looks as though The Prof has a rather nasty bout of food poisoning.
A case of a dodgy prawn quiche in Dublin airport he thinks.
I think it's a case of too much work, not enough sleep coupled with a bad prawn but what do I know?
" Do you think it could be EBola?" The Prof asked weakly from his deathbed this morning
" There's not a great deal of EBola in North Wales" I replied.
This morning's convalescence has only been interrupted the once when Albert
brought a live sparrow into the bedroom, with all four dogs hysterically in tow
I was busy preparing a light toast breakfast, so the first thing I heard of the event was the Prof
croaking a rather muted " Bird BIRD! B-I-R-D" in an effort not to raise his abdominal pressure too much
Luckily the sparrow escaped through the open bathroom window before it was gassed to death
( if you get my drift)
Sorry I had to laugh ... not at the Prof, I hasten to add .... at the birdie incident ;-)
ReplyDeleteBird flu perhaps?
ReplyDeleteLiving dangerously eating airport prawn quiche. Hope he feels better soon.
ReplyDeleteGet better soon Chris.
ReplyDeleteAlbert may be my hero.
ReplyDeleteHe'd have a tale to tell about his life as a cool cat living with you lot.
a nice offering from albert for his daddy, just not welcome in the house. get well soon, chris!
ReplyDeleteI was going to talk about diarrhoea last night.
ReplyDeleteBut I decided not to.
DeleteTom will thank you for that
DeleteOh heck poor fella - avoid prawns in foreign places is my humble advice!
ReplyDeleteHope he gets well soon
oh dear me..nice of Albert, to bring his dad a get well gift.
ReplyDeleteShit does seem to play a massive part in your domestic - and working - life, and that's not being judgemental. How do you cope with it all?
ReplyDeleteOn top of everything else!
DeleteI squint a great deal
DeleteWhat a fun life we live, if we take it all in stride.
ReplyDeleteOh my...poor Chris and poor John and even poor Albert. The bird was the only one who had a shot at a decent day. Tell Chris we are thinking of him over here in Canada and wish him a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteAn attack of food poisoning can make a person wish for Ebola.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Never a quiet, boring day in your household!
ReplyDeletePoor Chris, here's hoping he feels better soon and you don't get it in case it's a bug, not food poisoning!
Albert knew exactly the treatment required lol! xxx
The Prof is of a certain age and a learned person, yet he indulges in such risk taking behaviour by consuming a prawn quiche, and in Dublin no less. Did he choose the cheap Denmark flight option?
ReplyDeleteMay this case of dire rear be an especially short one...
ReplyDeleteGood job you saved him from the flight.
ReplyDeleteNever a dull moment!
ReplyDeleteWhatever you do you, and however much you're tempted, do NOT try to raise his spirits by doing jokes or funny acts. If he laughs the consequences could be most......'unsavoury'.
ReplyDeleteSo in other words, he'll clean up his act........ one way or the other?
DeleteHe jolly well better, J, in whatever way is called for!
DeletePoor Prof, and you!
ReplyDeleteSurely you've earned a Scotch egg..... and halo.... by now!
One of the less lovely parts of married life!
ReplyDeleteOh, how embarrassing for him.
ReplyDeleteEBOLA!!! It's amazing how the mind works when you feel like death warmed over. Hope Chris is feeling better soon and things get back to 'normal' for you.
ReplyDeleteBilly Connolly said, on stage, "never trust a fart after the age of sixty" but I can belive that it applies much earlier...
ReplyDeleteUgh. I am always suspicious of prawns when I eat out. I'm suspicious of them at home, too, come to think of it.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking that! Who buys a prawn quiche in an airport and expects to be unscathed?
DeleteFeel better soon Prof!
ReplyDeleteThe smell of dettol still makes me think of childhood tummy bugs, and yes it was either lucozade or flat lemonade.
