Suffering terribly!

A lazy post from the poorly house!
After each trip to the doctor this week we have not come home empty handed -the kitschen pharmacy has gone wholesale! Happily the beautiful boy, far from behaving like a child about whom the doctor is really quite concerned, is instead bouncing off the walls. I blame those nasty little pink pills - which, I am assured, taste like poo.
Thankfully mumsie came to the rescue bringing essential provisions for good health...
Don't you just love that food ethic of the 1970's! This is the sort of feast my own grandma would lay out for me when I was poorly. Of course one needs doughnuts! Sugar is the essence of recovery!
Having polished off the flying saucers, I must say, for the moment at least, I agree! Feeling much better thank-you very much!
I think a doughnut would just top it off nicely...
along with a bit of reading - a lazy week well timed to coincide with a new magazine! OH the suffering!
Just one more picture, this is a quickie as requested by Lucy the Queen of Crochet! And before you ask, I didn't make a single one - they're all thrifted!
Hope you and yours are all well. Normal service will resume next week - just as soon as we come down from our sugar rush!! t.x

Oh that jolly thrifted crochet collection is enough to make anyone feel better, those beautifully doubled and trebled rainbow stitches are the epitome of modern convalesencent chic!

Good grief, you look like you've been to a French doctor! It took us quite a while to realise that you could just take the mile-long prescriptions to the pharmacie and point to the few things you actually wanted, ignoring all the rest. I do hope it all works, along with the 1970s essential E numbers! Get well soon...

At least I'm not the only sick one in blogger land!! Though wish I had a mumsie with all those sweet treats. Oh well I will just have to stick to the prescribed prescription of hot honey and lemon tea!!

Lovely pictures by the way,

I love all those 70's sweets - especially flying saucers!! I remember being given a tin of condensed milk to enjoy when I was ill way back then - I'm sure it must have made me feel better, or maybe it just made me sick - it is SOOO sweet!
Mandy said…
Get well soon. Hope your all feeling better soon .xxxx

ABCD - condensed milk! Now I need condensed milk! We were allowed an inch in a glass for a treat! NEVER the whole can! Do you know they do it now in squeezy tubes! t.x

Mandy - thank-you! t.x

Such a shame that kids medicine has moved on from the 70's too. I loved the taste of the intense bubblegum pink medicine and the small bottles of junior disprol which had mini orange pills in. Probably all sweetie placebo's, but didn't taste of poo.

Ohooo hope he feels better soon

I recognise the Aero chamber and inhalor and steroids

We have the Aero Chamber here too, though my son hasn't needed the prednisolone for maybe a year. He was born 11 weeks early and was ventilated at birth and tends to be very chesty in the winter months. I am not sure how old your son is, though we have had fun and games administering the inhaler to my two year old :)

Gorgeous photographs, having a sweet tooth I am now very hungry :)

Oh I think I've come home with the exact same prescription for my 3 year old as you have! Steroid tablets and an asthma inhaler after previously being told it was "just a cough" and being given bottles of anti-biotics which did nothing at all!
Mr Lee said…
best wish to you!!
Hope he is fully recovered soon!

Ohhhh Party Rings....I want them now....and I know that I have a pack in the cupboard......and I am trying to be good......I may just have to stare at the picture of them all day instead! x

oh I am sooooooooooooooo jealous what wonderful blankets and wonderful colours...you have some fab thrift shops near you...we are going to a vintage fair in Ilkley tomorrow and their charity shops are wonderful as only the very wealthy live in Ilkley and depost all sorts of treasures in their charity shops...

Sorry to hear you're under the weather in the Kitschen Pink household. Wow to the "party" style food, just the sort of thing my mother-in-law would administer to the small person here! The crochet blankets are lovely. I have quite a few made by my nan years ago but the thrifted ones I've seen have always been really manky with the emphasis on acrylic! I'll keep looking though.
Happy weekend.

I just noticed you must be from near me as you had the Eastern Daily Press in your picture. I couldn't help but chuckle. I'm in Suffolk, just down the road!! Nice to stroll across your blog

This is such a lovely post, despite the poorliness - really hope he's getting better. What's up? Looks like the pastel-coloured medicine is in good supply so he's bound to get better!

Those crochet blankets are delicious!
