mzrowanThe good: V and I got to go to London this week. The bad: we had to come back early because V's mum's health has taken a sudden turn for the worse. Apparently our hell year is going into extra innings.
We arrived Saturday morning and V found out that night that she urgently needed to head to Australia. She decided to take the middle path between familial duty and self-care, so we squeezed as much vacation in as we could (tea in the Barbican conservatory, Dior and Quant exhibits at the V&A, Kew Gardens, Sweet Charity at the Donmar, rooftop drinks overlooking the river, an exhibit on the history of writing at the British Library), then flew home Thursday evening.
V's flying to Melbourne tomorrow. Well, she's *leaving* for Melbourne tomorrow. She *gets* to Melbourne on Tuesday, local time. This weekend, we rest. Depending on how things go, I may also be going to Australia later this month.
Edit: Oh yes, and I found out how much gluten was Too Much. Turns out, having bread and/or pasta at every meal for three days is too much. Still, the attack wasn't nearly as painful as they used to be – and that's a pretty liberal limit!
