Well, B has an inner ear infection, Continuum 7 (the con in Melbourne) is making chaos with their plane booking/ hotel booking arrangements. It's a small con, and doubtless a bit stretched, but the late chaos is not making life easy. Other than that we have a glorious new tablecloth (thanks Rosie!) and have arranged with Bill to pick olives on Friday for the olive oil press guys. We will, I hope, get some oil. Yes, it would be cheaper and faster to buy it. But I would like to get some off the island, not a supermarket.
