Description
Octadad's blue striped pyjamas were a last minute addition. I approve of them
No joke, this is pretty much how I look at the moment. The sudden change from Summer to Autumn has really affected my health over the past week. And it doesn't help matters that I've got to spend all week packing stuff ready to move into my new flat on Saturday. So sorry if I don't respond to comments, notes and like to quickly, but I'm busy trying to recover from a pretty bad cold here.
Oh, and GiftWrap, the honey tea now seems to be having a small positive effect on me. I assume it must just be the fact that I'd never drunk the stuff before that caused it to have such a negative affect last time!

I hope you are feeling better by Saturday. Here's another home remedy you might try if it's getting worst. Echinacea tea with a tab of the orange flavored Airborne dropped into it. It should taste horrid, but somewhat savory. I always start drinking that when people around are sick. And since I've discovered it I've not caught a cold unless I forgot to drink it.
Moving by train... I can't even imagine how difficult that must be to coordinate. I read your comment about getting a porter to help... it sounds like the beginning of a wonderful victorian novel to me.
Oh, yes, I'm supposed to be commenting on the art! Octamum is very sweet. I find perspective in drawings to be a bit difficult, but you make it look easy. Also, the portrait on the wall is quite possibly unintentionally awesome! Depending on how I look at it, I see two faces. There's the typical pony faces, but then there's the hilarious super serious "WHELP" faces (the nostrils look like creases under the mouths). Accidentally Brilliant? or cunningly subtle?

I'm still feeling rather 'meh' so I'll give your illness remedy a go. Being totally honest, right now I'm prepared to give anything a go!
As for moving by train, how difficult it can be depends on how well mannered the staff are. However, being a regular at Manchester Piccadilly station I know a good few of the staff by name, so simply requested one of them to be waiting for me when I get there tomorrow morning. It's one of those moments where it's not what you know, but who you know.
I can tell you now, HardCyder, the perspective of this was anything but easy to achieve. Drawing a pony lying down under a blanket from that angle is seriously hard, not to mention trying to make everything else at a matching angle!

D'aww c: ... You see? Octamum might be rather... demanding with her husband but she clearly loves him. Also, I really want those pyjamas...
And that picture hanging on the wall is a very nice touch.

Her mothering instincts must have latched onto him given his current situation!

At least if her mothering instincts have latched onto him then Octamum won't be complaining about not having a foal for those instincts to latch onto instead.

Finally! A picture with Octamom and Octadad together and he's not being abused. It's an academy record!
In all seriousness though, so sorry to hear that you've been so sick x( Get well soon, go to bed early, all that yadda yadda mess xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Just wait for it. Not doubt Octamum's been reading up on some advanced home nursing techniques!
And, I would get to bed early, alas I have to much stuff to pack!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, like only she could xD
And I see what you mean, good luck with the move and your cold!

Hope you get better soon. Also ... yay! More Octadad! He's my fav. ^_^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, it suddenly occurred to me that I've drawn Octamum more times than Octadad, so I'm starting to rectify that

Just went through that myself two weeks ago. Get better soon! It's no fun.
(Never tried honey tea, but hot milk and honey is great for soothing a sore throat, and quite tasty to boot.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Can't say I've ever tried honey and milk. If I haven't got rid of this illness by Sunday I'll give it a try

Get well soon, bob aka Rob! I can empathise with you even though I'm not sick as the same weather change just happend here the last days. And yeah, tea with honey is awesome. Octamom knows this too as it seems. ^.^ Smooth move to the new flat soon!

Move to the flat? Smooth? Never!
I have to take all my stuff on the train, which means I've been arranging to have a personal porter and parcels trolley waiting for me when I change trains at Manchester!

Wow, that sounds laborious. I always had a pantechnicon van for the whole move and was very glad about it. Good luck with everything. Hope everything goes well.

Wish you well then.
As for the pic, I sense some Munchhausen Syndrome by proxy (where someone makes or keeps another sick to care for them and feel validated) going on...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Whilst I don't think that would be the case now, I've got a got feeling Octamum will try it when he starts to recover!

I know warm milk & honey also is really good, I tried it before it's awesome. Get's lots of vitamin C in ya, the old chicken noddle soup is good too. Get as much rest as you can, and also have like a game unit or something to keep you from getting board seriously the worst thing about being sick is not being able to do anything. Hope you feel better man!

Well, truly the worst thing about being sick at the moment is that I don't have time to rest
