Between the two of us, Stephan and I have been sick pretty much the entire time we’ve been here. Although, that’s not entirely true because, technically, if one is “sick” in England, one has been vomiting. It’s also used as a verb: I sick, I sicked, I have sicked. We have just been ill, not sick.
You know what else is great about England? Rather than getting pregnant here, one falls pregnant. Sometimes one falls over, and sometimes one falls pregnant: it’s out of one’s hands.
Note to Tony and grandparents-elect: no one associated with this blog has fallen anything.

What about now - Have you fallen now?
So when in England, could one say they fell prey to a scoundrel, fell pregnant, felt sick, sicked all over place, slipped and fell in it, then sicced their dog to lick it up? Keep the England English lessons coming. (They’re righteously sick man).
P.S. Is there surfer-talk over there?
P.S.S. I hope you guys feel better soon. It’s probably just an effect adjusting to the time difference or Mad Cow Disease.
