Ugly Boys

My arm feels as if someone has filled it with concrete, it is as heavy as lead and it really aches. I had my flu jab on Tuesday and I always get a bad local reaction to it so I know this is nothing to worry about, but I wish it would get better. By yesterday evening Robbie was feeling a little better, but he still has a bad headache. Laura was poorly yesterday with similar symptoms to Robbie, but Sam who had the bug a day before Robbie was better and able to return to school. So that just leaves me, I am hoping they will have kept their germs to themselves because I really don't want to get it.



I knew that Robbie was getting back to normal when at well after 1am when we were both in bed he started to talk about the Ugly Boys who had apparently just arrived in UK. I thought he was talking about one of the bands that he likes because they all seem to have wierd names, but as he warmed to his subject it became clear that he was talking about trains! Two engines (from USA I think) that are as ugly as sin have just arrived in UK. When he showed me a picture of them I could see what he meant, they are horrible, but at 1am I have better things to do than worry about the aesthetics of the railways!
