Snotters

Donna and Lauren arrived safely.
They were held up for a while in Chicago airport while visas were checked.  They have a habit of doing that.
Their cats were so pleased to see them.
I knew they were missing them.
Donna then promptly came down with a flu like virus.
It has been a nasty one too.
I think she has been so stressed and had so much to do over the past year that her immunity is low and she probably picked it up on the plane.
The first few days she was really poorly.  Now, she is still weak but with more classic head cold symptoms.
Hopefully by the weekend she will be feeling well enough to go gallavanting with her mates.

Today Lauren and a couple of friends are at the Warped Tour held on the lake Summerfest Grounds.

You may remember that I, Donna and Gary went last year.
It starts at 11am continues to 9pm........loads of stages........loads of bands..........loads of noise........loads of crowd surfing.........loads of swearing.......Never again!!!!!
This is why this year we have sent her with her mates.

You get the idea.
She is in contact via her phone so we are keeping tabs on her, but the security last year was brilliant.
They are all youngsters, no booze allowed anywhere on the site and they give them free water.
My biggest fear is sun stroke.
It is so bloody hot.  We have sent her with sun block and strict instructions to keep applying it.
I wonder if she will remember to eat?

Tomorrow we have to take her to enroll in her new high school.
I have never been inside an American high school so this will be an interesting experience for me too.
I shall let you know what that is like.
