Welcome, Cousin!

Heather’s first cousin (Finn’s niece) Belle dropped in for a visit this afternoon.  She’s about a month older than Heather, and it shows in her size.

It was a bit overwhelming for Belle at first, but she soon settled down and enjoyed most of the games that the Eweturn Clan play – apart from Finn’s amorous approaches, that is!  Not only is it inappropriate that he approach such a young girl, but a niece as well?  Tsk, tsk boy!

Belle has a few ‘issues’ with sore spots in her lower back, so I’ve put her in touch with our usual Chiros in the hope that they can be sorted out quickly and permanently.  She’s clearly in a little pain, and doesn’t like to be handled.  I wouldn’t like to see any such condition last any longer than it absolutely has to.

Gemma’s leg is clearly feeling much better already – she doesn’t betray any weakness there at all now, but somehow despite never getting out the door for a week she’s managed to pick up a minor ear infection again.  The first sign was last night, signaled by repeated ear-flapping; today, Finn had a good sniff of it.

Again, Finn’s nose is earning its keep.   He was right, her ear smelled funny and for good reason. All signs are still pointing at Gem’s next season happening just as she is fit enough to compete again :(

Sigh.

We have to look after our charges – smart, they may be – but they rarely think more than a few minutes ahead at any given time.  She may be as smart as a small human child, but unless she’s really hurting now, the play is the thing!
