Whooping cough still hanging around
(Preview)
Be careful Grey Nomads. Talking to our son tonight and Whooping cough is till going around. He has had 5 kids off his clas this week with it. One girl was tested - positive - and she didn't even have a cough at the time. Scary stuff. He decided to take a course of antibiotics for it too. 6 kids off today.

Long term travelling as you get older

Side Flashes With Eyes ????

Has anyone experienced what looks like little camera flashes at the side of one of their eyes while looking straight ahead? If so, do you know what causes it? I am not asking for a medical or optometrist opinion, just personal experience.....
