Things are much better around here than they were last week. Slowly I’m recovering from the darn pneumonia. Not thanks to the antibiotics though—turns out I’m allergic and within mere hours I was covered in a freaky looking and itching red rash, like, all over. TMI: there are places one should not get an itching rash, lemme tell you that. But I’m good now.

Not a moment too soon either. We have a long weekend planned in a cottage down south and we leave on Friday. I’ll be taking my sparkly new Nikon 70-300 lens baby with me.

On a different note, look what we got in the mail. Well, we? I mean, look what Jayden got in the mail.

Kabouter Plop, of course! Signed and all.

And Piet Piraat and his gang.

He’ll so be the envy of all his toddler peers!
