Anyway, Wednesday we spent the day shopping. We bought lots of things back for the kids, a few things for Phil and I (really we didn't need anything) and loads for Ruby, Jonah, Amie and Brendan. So much that we needed to buy another suitcase to fit it all in. Phil spent the day shopping with us, and then went to the Races at the Happy Valley racecourse, which was right across from the hotel. It was about 8:30pm when the girls and I were walking home that I first noticed my sore throat. I thought the ice cream I bought would fix it! (little did I know!)
