Sick bay

Oakley was sent home from school yesterday, feeling unwell. Sure enough he proceeded to be sick a couple of times. Like his father, he doesn't seem to want illness to interrupt his normal life. He was determined to go to Beavers last night and couldn't understand why having been sick 10 minutes before should stop him. This morning was Dress Rehearsal day for the school performance so again, he was keen to go.

I have just interrupted CBBC to ask whether he'd like a dry biscuit or a piece of dry toast. "Can I have a dry square of Dairy Milk?" he asked. As I say, he's just like his father.
