Daniel's been out of sorts the past couple of days: diarrhea, not eating, drooling a lot, restless nights. Yes, he's got another tooth coming through. Yet another one. Each time we think 'this must be the last one', and each time another one comes along a couple of months later to surprise us. Of course, he won't let us have a look!
Coincidentally Jamie has a very sore tongue at the moment, which has meant she hasn't been able to eat or drink much either. We tried get her to rinse her mouth with highly diluted Listerine mouthwash, but this didn't seem to help, so Carmen took her to the doctor's this afternoon. He said it was nothing serious, and prescribed a cream. According to Jamie, it tastes foul, and she has made a huge, noisy fuss each time it's had to be applied. But it worked well enough for her to be able to eat her tea, at least.
We rented the DVD of Girl With a Pearl Earring tonight. Lots of emotion simmering just below the surface, it reminded me a bit of films like French Lieutenant's Woman and Far From the Madding Crowd in that respect. Scarlett Johanson was a joy to look at, as always, but this time in a completely un-made-up look (which it probably took the make-up artist ages to get right) and very brightly lit in order to get that Vermeer-y effect of white light falling on her from the side through a window all the time.
The fine weather has come to an end, unfortunately, and it rained most of the day. Apparently it should pick up again at the weekend, just in time for Brenda's visit. Fingers crossed.
