Thanks to everyone who commented and mailed me about my previous entry. I'll try and respond to all of your questions and comments (especially you
btezra!) as soon as I can. In the mean time, I'm back off to my mum's house for the weekend. We've had a bit of a setback -- she's back in the hospital with pneumonia. Despite her protestations that she's "fine, and not to worry", I can't help but do anything but.
