New (steamy!) toy

Tim finally got to play with his new espresso machine today. It's a winner!

Very surprised to get a call from my sister this morning saying that Mum was feeling (and being) very sick. She had been completely fine when we left yesterday. Looks like her previous infection has come back with a vengeance. I spent most of the day unsure about what I should do (whether to go back or not), but also trying to rest as much as possible. To be decided tomorrow....

My friend Mark phoned from Australia this evening - great to catch up with him (especially as I'd managed to miss several calls from him over the past few weeks).
