So, since the 28th, it's been a matter of waiting and seeing what the surgeon in Sydney would say on Thursday (yesterday). This involved us all (Me, J, S, C) going up to Sydney on Wednesday. Wednesday evening / night I cruised around with J and J. After a yummy dinner we went to one of the peculiarities of Sydney - Max Brennar. For those that don't know, Max Brennar (or maybe Brenner, or something similar) is a chocolate chain in old Sydney towne: hot chocolate, coffees are on the menu; you can buy chocolates if you so desire. Anyhow, getting back to J’s place on Wednesday night I was suitably full and chocolately.

Yesterday, I went to St Leonards to visit B in Royal North Shore. Then to pick up J and C to go to the Prince of Wales. “The” appointment with the surgeon on Thursday was 2 ¼ hrs late, oh well. But the outcome is relatively positive (especially compared to the advice from Canberra Hospital the previous week). There’ll be another operation on Monday morning. We’ll all go back up to Sydney on Sunday �" so he can be admitted in the late afternoon.

So now Monday is the next key date…

In other news, earlier in the week it was good to catch up with an old friend - clarinettist from Adelaide. It appears that on a public holiday in Canberra (2nd), there wasn't too much open in the way of restaurants, etc. But an Indian place was found, followed by some yummy tea.
