I have to stay in my room pretending to have tummy lurgy so that Dad will not know I am an ostracized leper banned from Stalag 14 (i.e., suspended from school).
I'd been doing well so far this autumn in avoiding any lurgies but I finally succumbed to a cold over the weekend - I'm blaming my Mum who came to visit last week, and she's apparently blaming her boyfriend (Thanks James!).
