Killed the thread. Typical. I seem to have that effect on people.

My father is arriving from Australia this afternoon. Just staying one night and then going back tomorrow. It turns out it costs the same for him to personally deliver a heavy package of car parts as it does for him to post it. He hasn't been over since E was a tiny baby.

Cass, did you ever contact your brother or father?

ETA, I am insanely nervous. My heart is racing and I feel like throwing up. I don't know why - we talk on the phone all the time.
