itchy

Bronwyn is getting itchy—not so much a dermatological complaint, as cabin fever. She continues to make slow day-by-day progress, with her basically continuous headache each day being a little less severe. Her neck is no longer sore, and there is no longer any issue with nausea. She's looking forward to a return to more normal life. I'm glad she's got six weeks off from Wednesday to recuperate anyway, thanks to the well-timed summer holidays.

Meanwhile, Bronwyn's parents were due to depart from New Zealand today, en route to London via Hong Kong. A mishap with a faulty batch of passport glue (we think of the plastic bit over the photo?) meant that they were turned away at the check-in desk, lest anyone think her Dad had an interfered-with passport. They've got new emergency passports from the authorities, free since it was a known faulty batch apparently, but will depart 24 hours late. They've shortened their three days in Hong Kong to two, so we're still expecting them here in London Friday (5:30am!). The trip has been planned for months, but Bronwyn will be extra glad to have them here after her period of sickness. Her Dad is nursing an injured/just-not-working leg too so we'll all be able to take it easy together, hopefully. Suits me.

Even before then we're looking forward to Jenny and Michael coming to stay, Wednesday and Thursday night, before they fly out to relocate from York to Dubai. What jetsetting friends we have...
