Razzle dazzle

Drawn by bright minds away from travel prep and uni coursework into the city for a woolf extravaganza - films, talks and theatre adaptation. Home again home again clippedy clip, rushed call with sis and g (broken-hearted but better). Pack till 3am, laundry still wet in my bag and all the websites I needed for check in etc... Down due to hour change. Dad comes to get me an hour early at new 07:30 am. I remain grateful in face of 3 hrs sleep, he makes me laugh telling me about my great aunt. Reports of her going awol are eventually sorted out by discovering she drove herself to hospital rather than bother an ambulance. Parking over yellow lines in front of a and e was not the best move but she is a smart sassy lady, pain must have dulled her senses and she didn't expect to be in all day. Mum and dad eventually find her and dad attempts to move her car much to the bemusement of 2 police officers who have just arrived to move it for her. Either he is greatest or worst car thief of all time as he struggles to get her shift automatic to start. Released from impromptu visit to hospital and starving they get Pizza on way home. They open some wine. She declares it a party.

Airport now. What I've forgotten or screwed up is left behind. Grant me my aunty c's resilience. Excited.
