A small update

For the past two days, Lois and I have experienced the worst sore throats we have ever had. Ever. I’m not exaggerating, the only other symptom I had was a horrible headache, but we couldn’t go outside for two days because we felt so rubbish. It hurt to breathe even. Katya and Yura brought us meals and checked on us. We spent the time sleeping/watching movies. They have a copy of the old BBC version of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, which is funny to watch (the animations are hilarious).

Galia remained her usual unsympathetic self. She said that we’d been relaxing all day, and that Lois should have said hello to her when she saw her. We don’t talk to her because she’s so miserable and we know we’ll normally just get a lecture from her! She didn’t bother to ask us if we were okay or anything. Although today, she did actually ask us at breakfast. There are lots of guests (at least 20) in the White House to help play the game thing, so that means huge queues for the only working bathroom! But Katya said we can take it easy today as we’re still recovering, so we’ve just been set some ironing, and we can watch the game if we want. However, as there were so many people at breakfast, there was a lot of washing up, and Anton was supposed to do it all by himself, so we lent a hand and washed up the cups and cutlery.

And that’s essentially what’s happened in the past few days! It’s now half-term, so that means no teaching, but I’m not sure what that will be replaced with.

We only have 23 days left now…
