LCR poor you, hope you feel better soon and manage to make it home. We've got nearly a foot of snow here in Kent. It's nice in some ways because DH couldn't get to work today, but poor DS is desperate to go outside, and I just can't let him because he's still not well.
Sympathies on the eczema, too. I've never really had much problem with it - DS1 just gets little patches of it on the backs of his knees sometimes. Definitely a lot worse in the last few weeks, though, and I'm sure because of the central heating.
Hector you do make me laugh, you sound so much like me when DS1 was born (no dummies, only wooden toys etc). The good news is that weaning is usually an area where you can still feel quite judgey pants for a while; the bad news is that it doesn't last long. IME when they're just starting out on solids, they'll eat whatever you give them and in huge quantities - so you can do organic ice cube tray purees to your heart's content, plus they'll accept quite exotic things. I vividly remember having lunch at a pizza place when DS1 was about 9 months old, feeling super-smug because all the other mummies in there were feeding their kids Heinz jars, while DS was tucking into a little tub of organic guinea fowl au vin with roast vegetable mash (seriously 
). Then, when they're around a year old, they imperceptibly begin to get more fussy and start to reject foods, because their appetites decrease, and they become more independent. But you don't worry, because it's a very slow process, and you just think 'Oh, it doesn't matter if he won't eat avocado, as long as he's still eating my scallop and quinoa salad'. And then, sometime in the second year, you wake up one morning to find that they'll only eat Laughing Cow sandwiches, with a bit of tomato ketchup and a few Pombears thrown in to achieve the five a day. From hubris to nemesis.
Oh, and by the way Hector, how's the weather with you? According to the BBC it's positively antarctic up there.
