My job really sucks sometimes.

On Saturday 2 emergency hit by car dogs came into the clinic (not at the same time, thank goodness).

Both critical.

Neither of them made it.

My eldest was not well. Coughing/spluttering/fever. He is never irritable, though mashaAllah. He just takes it all like a trooper and never complains. Alhamdulillah he is all better today.

Sunday was a day of nothing. We veged out, took altogether too long to get out of our pyjamas. The house did not get clean. My sister-in-law visited with gifts (!) and yes, they were entirely appropriate for husband and me.

One of the most tiresome storylines in soaps would have to be the pregnant one.  And the events are always recycled hash from other soaps. Pick one or more of the following and you have instant story:

1. Pregnant woman doesn’t know who the father is

2. Pregnant woman falls down (and she always falls down stairs – what is with that?) and risks losing her baby

3. Woman cannot fall pregnant/deals with infertility in one episode/begins IVF or adoption or surrogacy

4. In the case of IVF – it works the first time

5. In the case of adoption – parents struggle to find perfect birth mother/ birth mother fights for custody after adoptive parents finally get baby

6. When baby is finally born, no mention will be made of him/her ever again
