Our poor little plague rat


Plague rat, originally uploaded by Racmol.

Well, it was inevitable really, wasn't it? Still at least we are now done with the pox and Willy is slowing regaining his former beauty, one healing scab at a time.

He was particularly troublesome at the height of the spots last week, waking in the night and howling then falling asleep spreadeagled in the middle of our bed wearing a very self-satisfied expression.

To celebrate our spot-free household we are off to the Christmas markets in Bruges on the train on Monday for two nights. Sofia has already said she doesn't want to go on a train, she wants to go on two planes to see her cousins. Which is a bit of bad luck, really.

Hope you all had a nice time in Bruges despite Sofia not getting to go on 2 planes

Sofia's cousins will also be disappointed not to see her again :) Mind you - newest cousin, Lennox, is probably a bit too small to recognise or remember :)

At least Willy has a smile on in the photo despite the torment of all the spots.

Love Lolo
