Fingers crossed.  Realise that I’ve forgotten to wrap OH’s present. 6.1 this morning.  It’s taking a long time for me to wake up this morning but my head has already run several circuits and finished preparing everything. Now I just have to catch up. I keep thinking about waiting 2 years for my next eye check. His positive thinking was good, but I don’t think I can wait that long. My sight is more or less what’s propelling me on this LC journey - I can’t take the chance of following Mum, my aunt and grandmother and risk losing it. No 3 daughter is on a plane with her husband and children on a trip going back to the African country she finished school in. Friends have arranged transport and an itinerary for them. She’s very excited. At 18 we had trouble getting her to leave, but there was no way I was going to let her stay there. She cried the whole flight home- the cabin crew brought her tissues, eventually left the whole box. It’s always a problem going to other countries with half grown daughters. They often want to stay on there. We’ve met up with daughters (nearly always the girls) of colleagues of OH who stayed on in different countries when the family left. No 2 daughter went back to Australia where she left her heart, and after 3 trips back she stayed there. A friend’s daughter stayed in Sweden, her  cousin stayed in Turkey. We’ve met ‘remainers’ in Africa, Australia, UK and Jamaica. So when it came to getting No 3 to come back with us, I lied through my teeth. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />) Told her that when we left, her visa would become invalid and she could be arrested. Mean but it worked.</blockquote>
