D-Day -4

So we think we sold the car, and there've been a flurry of calls from agents for work, and we've packed our bags (at least twice), and what else do we have to do?

I spoke to N and he is bearing up well considering he's broken the ball of his hip joint off and has been wandering around on it for a week. K & D are upset because they hadn't picked how bad it was, but I can understand. (I think Mum had M wandering around with two broken wrists at one point, so it must be a family thing.) N was on morphine so a little out of it, but we had a good old conversation about new members of the family and how Granddad was being made to tidy his act up. N's going to be in traction for a while and was particularly concerned about his schoolwork. I told him that the school would do what was best for him and I hope that K&D give them some prodding as well. He has three pins in his joint and has to stay off it for 8 weeks or so. He's a tough little bugger... (Here are some pictures of him Mountain Biking.)

Dad and M also called for a chat. We overlap at the airport for about an hour I think but it depends on the check-in procedures, etc. whether we'll see much of each other.

It's all just a matter of counting down now, although there are still one or two loose ends to tie up. Breath deeply, smile and wave...
