When Jon's in the US ...

Jon's been out to the US for a week and EVERY time he goes away, things inevitably go a bit pear-shaped.

He hadn't been out of the house for 24 hours when the boiler decides to play up. It misses Jon so much it decides to throw a wobbly and shut itself off. Shame this normally co-incides with a cold spell so Callum and I wake up freezing cold. Well, rather Callum wakes up with ice blocks for hands and feet as he hates being covered up by the duvet. This happened a few times and Jon must get the guys back as something is definitely not right.

The other thing that goes wrong is that Callum gets sick ... this time he picked up some form of sickness bug and couldn't keep any food down him. I was a bit worried about him so moved him into the travel cot in our room so could keep an eye on him ... 4 hours sleep in two nights is nowhere near enough for me ... and the next thing I know I go down with it and get even less sleep!

Poor Jon didn't know what hit him when he got home on the Friday. Just about made it downstairs ... threw Callum at him and went back to bed. I've never been so pleased to see him!

Whatever the bug was it was highly contagious as Jon went down with it on Sunday ... and the neighbours on Tuesday! Callum only just got back to eating a proper meal this week ... Jon managed to coax him round and so far, touch wood.
