Vabruari

February around this time tends to be a shadowland. Swedish parents have even come up with a new word which combines the name of the month “februari” with the acronym for the temporary parental benefit paid by the government when you stay away from work to care for a sick kid (“vab”). True to the resulting portmanteau, this week both William and Eddie have been really sick, probably with HRSV. Meanwhile I have had tons of exams to mark and Anna has had her ISA-paper to finish before we can head over to the US on Tuesday.
