Is children being sick in autumn/winter/spring a new thing in Ireland?

They have put heating into most national schools and family homes since you left pal. Killer for the oul germs floating around

Correct. Contrary to popular belief (and old wives tales) viruses thrive in dry conditions, not wet. The best defense these days is a humidifier.

The Galway lads are hardly suffering from a lack of humidity

Jesus your on fire today

I’ve a meeting with the school principal, teacher etc in ten minutes. Half an hour ago I was opening a bale of silage. I wore gloves but to no avail- a freak pooling of effluent had gathered at the point of first incision… fuckit anyway. I’ve been trying to get a meeting with the bluffers for a month, and building up a nice head of steam. This has taken the wind right out of my sails…pardon the mixed metaphor.

the small one has the whooping cough… it sounds horrific lads.

+1. Off to the Docs this morning. Not sure its whooping, but its a whopper of a cough. Christ its horrific. And not a fucking thing you can do.

we’re 50/50 on the doctors yet. She’s in cracking form, just the cough would put the fear of god into you. She had it a while back and the doctor only gave us a steroid. We’ll manage it today and see how she is tomorrow.

Ah yeah, shur they’re grand during the day, and then once they lie in the bed it goes mental. Anything at all to ease it will be a help.

early morning and night time are bad alright. There’s a load of sickness around at the minute.

We were at a birthday party the weekend and 90% of the little bastards were sick in some form
