We finished it! Here is the 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle we've been working on (detail top, whole puzzle bottom), it took us 5 days! Actually we only did 995 pieces as 5 were missing. Jesse is brilliant at finding the right pieces...a new found skill! We hope you are impressed...

Hello bloggers...
This'll be a shorty. Jesse is still on form. He has been eating lots and holding it down. He had 6 bowls of rice kripsies with rice milk (only one little box in total but loads for him), plus half a rice cake, mashed potato, rice noodles and a jam tart made with rice and corn flour...but his diarrhea is still bad (over 1kg yesterday) and he now has adenovirus in his urine. So it's not all rosy, I have no idea when we can get out of here. We have both had enough, and want to go home desperately. But until Jesse is eating properly and the diarrhea is better they won't let us out. We got out in the afternoon, I wheeled Jesse up the Gray's Inn Road to Argos to get a catalogue (I think we need a new puzzle to do, and they have run out here), and then back to Starbucks to sit in the sunshine and watch the world go by.

Tim visited yesterday much to Jesse's delight, they are continuing their plans (food based) for the summer hols (as Jesse calls them) at Greatham. In the evening Hilary came over and as Jesse was sleeping soundly, we managed to get out. We went to a local restaurant and had tapas, it was refreshing to get out and lovely to see Hilary. It was my first escape in a couple of weeks and it felt good!

Thank you for your jokes and comments, Jesse is really enjoying them, and it is good to know that you are out there! Take care, more soon,
love
