incubation period - 5 days

Cutie appears to have recovered completely although if Pawpaw's around you wouldn't know it. She's milking it for all it's worth. Percy has the typical male constitution and has shown no signs of illness. Unfortunately granny and hubby are now down for the count. Pawpaw and I remain well - for now. Just hope the next 24 hour+ go okay as G&P have a flight back to America. Personally, I try to avoid tummy bugs while in-flight.

Cutie soaks up the attention

Percy and Cutie have made the most of the last couple days. Despite rain, they've had walks and books and general one on one entertainment. It's all good. Percy recently decided to advance his computer skills from banging and bumping to actual control of a mouse. Soon, he'll be publishing his own blog!

Percy sends his first email

It's been raining fairly consistently here the last three days. The sun comes out from time to time and tempts you into thinking you can go out, but beware if you do. Yesterday, we took our chances and braved it anyway to take a walk in the Mangrove swamps. We only got rained on twice. We also saw a great rainbow. It was so close we could see the end of it as it disappeared into the water. Sorry to disappoint you though. For the first time I can be sure there is no pot of gold. Hmmph.

I have no other entertaining words at this point. All is focussed on keeping mind and body together. I will keep this short so as not to spread too many germs to you guys in cyberland.
