I don't know why I didn't mention it before, but this last week, our lovely friend Jude has been in LA on a work trip and has spent the weekends either side with us... she has been absolutely brilliant, just going with the flow and being completely un-fazed by Daniel's unsettled state (which we now know was due to him having a broken arm - what awful parents!).

However, Jude's grace and patience were tested to the MAX on Saturday - we had planned a day sight-seeing, relaxing by the pool, eating fish and chips on the beach while we watched the sunset before she took a shower at ours and caught her flight home... instead, we spent the entire day at the emergency room and had to take her to the airport straight from the hospital - MISERABLE - AND they wouldn't even let her sit with us for most of the day because only parents were allowed through to the clinical area... we thank God for the lovely friends he has given us!
