Hi Peeps. Just about to get on a plane back to Melbs. Have missed you all.

Update

DIL has pupped out 2ndkid, and had surgery immediately after for other issues. Both doing fine. DIL's mum is present and will be doing the 1stkid wrangling from now on for a bit. So I'm not needed. Thank gods for the German health care system - it's been a joy to navigate compared to here.
