You guys are too lovely.
Never found the keys, but not finished looking yet.
Work has been great, learning solidly for two weeks and I hope next week I will start "producing". I'm being very much left to get on with it.
Our family from Ukraine have visas! 11 days so not as long as we feared.
They plan to train it from Hungary which is a looonngg journey. They don't want to fly because of the cost and we can't afford to pay really, basic flights are no problem but of course they sting you for any luggage.
Good Friday so a day of quiet contemplation (translates for me as lazing around!).
DH has done his penultimate chemo.5 -

Happy Easter to those who celebrate.
We've a lovely day planned lunch with the family that I'm not cooking.
Our Ukrainian family will be here a bit later than I thought, nearer the end of the month so we ought to be uber-ready.6 -
Fantastic thing to do helping the Ukranian family, how lovely. Good news on penultimate chemo.6
