Title: Swine flu. How widespread in your area?
Post by: Nickbat on 16 July 2009, 11:43:17
There is an outbreak at my daughter's school and I've just been informed that there has been a first case reported at my son's pre-school. He will probably stay home tomorrow as it is the last day and there was only a half-day party planned, but it seems no-one will be there! He'll be disappointed when I tell him as he wanted to say a goodbye to his teachers (he's moving on to primary school in September).  :(

How can they be so precise ??? Surely "just after 10 past 8" would suffice !  ::)
