ron continues to improve in respect of his finger and his back, though he's had a bout of earache over the past 24 hours and has spent much of the past 24 hours sleeping. He goes to the hospital again on Wednesday. He's fed up of the antibiotics (but not complaining too loudly considering they've prob. saved his life!). Richard continues bouyant. Lucy is getting along OK with Josiah but he's having difficulties feeding on one side - hopefully she'll be able to get him along to a cranial osteopath sooner than later. His face is very a-symetrical - clearly seen when he's sucking the dummy! We've had good results with cranial osteopathy in the past so are optimistic.

Our helping out at the hospital Easter service was a positive experience. We were appreciated and useful - what more could one ask? Our plan will be to be there to push wheelchairs in future on the second sunday of the month.

We got chicks - a bantam had been sitting on 9 eggs and they all hatched - just before Easter. I love having chicks at Easter.

The Rora reunion on Saturday was really good - even the monsoon-style rain wasn't a disaster. It's whetted our appetite for July - only hoping that the weather will hold out and that we won't find it autumnal by then.
