I had an interview at BsnssObcts - new place yesterday that went very well. I don't want to count chickens but I am feeling hopeful. I was grilled for over 2^1/2 hours and was tired out by the end of it. I need to move on before I become soft in the head.

Maman has arrived in the UK for a few weeks. I have just spoken to her and she sounds well, and happy to be here. I phoned the Cape Town branch of Learmonts a few days ago and they all sounded well. Father Learmont sounds like he's leaking and slipping further into eccentricity - and they think I'm losing it. At least I know where it comes from if I do.
