100g of caster sugar helps the medicine go down

Isn't it awful when your kids are sick? Matthew got poorly yesterday and has been off school today. I suspect Andrew is coming down with it now. I just hate to see them unwell, but we'll get through it.

George got given a Pudsey Bear cookie cutter at nursery today, so I made a few practice cookies before next week's Bake Sale. I did intend to let them cool and ice them with a little spotted eyepatch, but the kids had other ideas.

Matthew's food intake today has been mostly jam sandwiches ("with the crusts cut off, please"), cookies and smoothies. I hope Mary Poppins was right about the sugar!
