1. Morocco, Bournemouth, East Grinstead are all the same when one has a baby with a temperature and teething. The crying needs the comforting wherever one is.
2. Two days confined to barracks - the first owing to the inclement weather - rained and thundered all day long. Certainly not the time to go out walking round the block, lake or to the epicentre; and the second well a distressed baby who needed comforting all day.
3. Kaaren,. the main progenator, organised a sponsored swimming competition at the International School down the road. DTAC sponsored the events and all the trimmings including the teeshirts etc. Despite the unwell young chap we walked down to the school to show a face. My word, what facilities this school had. A huge indoor sports hall with a full size football pitch etc etc.
4. We walked back rapidly as the weather looked threatening and sure enough half way home the rain came down and when it rains here it rains. We returned with everything dripping - soaked to the skin is the expression. The rest of the day I remained with the poorly young chap, Kaaren had to go back to the event at prize giving. It seems she has some good ideas about marketing her company and what is on offer. She would do wonders for the Credit Union.
5. I had an email from Helen. Have you heard from her. She has been to see the specialist who has given her some medication to stop the nerve twitching that she has been experiencing. Hope that does the trick and that she has no further problems.She said that Sam had been quite unwell with a cold and she was pleased to be at her parents having meals cooked for her.
6. Evenley has its usual problems. The consultant does not believe that Dad has lung cancer but did not offer any further suggestions for the recurrent chest Xrays. They wanted him to go back to Oxford twice a week to have exercises to strengthen his lungs. Tessa said that was impossible to achieve. The deal is now to walk up to the pub and back when Mum is at Longlands.\
7. Mum is in the wars, was in a great deal of pain today and could hardly walk. Apparently she has a chest and urine infection. Luckily or unluckily my brother was there today. Tessa cannot do any more and she wants the two of us to do one week on and one week off. That means going up once a fortnight for a day or two. Dad has not been helping himself. He felt a little better and was up on the coal shed roof mending it!!
8. Bridge - well I have been trying to find time to look at the book, but circumstances always seem to prevent me. I did wonder whether we should look at the weak twos again as they seem to come up more frequently. Thoughts.
The weary traveller.

1 Yes, baby-care is a dominating requirement. All else falls away. Whoever does the caring, the caring has to be done. The constant daily task.
2 Caring for the recently-arrived and for those in the departure lounge (where departure information can be scant and what little there is can be unreliable).
3 Of course, I wish you (both) well. I wonder if you will have a baby-free day, a day off. A day away, an awayday. You could do with one before you return.
