*        Hello, Mum!

†        I will do, Olga: in fact, I think I did, when I spoke to Gill, yesterday.   He’s bored — in part — because getting to his phone and laptop is fiddly.   (The nurses are busy: and he has to have something called an ‘air chair’.)

‡        I’m keeping my fingers crossed, Debbi.   (His big problem’s boredom, I think: his laptop and phone are on the bedside cabinet, it seems, and he needs help to get to him!)
