Back home briefly....and the house is freezing.

Heating on but it only starts to get warm enough when it is time to head south again.

Mum in law still in hospital but under increasing pressure to be sent home for good. Has been offered a care package that includes a visit at 7:30 am followed by another at 7 pm. So basically if she needs anything she could have a pretty long wait, apart from an enforced 12 hours in a chair followed by 12 hours in bed.
