The weather took a decided turn for the worse, starting grey and very grotty most of the day, before finishing fine but cold in the evening.
In the morning we were back at the surgery, where Emily had the missing pieces of her immunisation programme. We could get the jabs in Tokyo, but at quite a price, so I decided to wait and have them done at home for nothing. She cried for a minute or two, but the tears dried up as soon as I produced a snack.
After lunch we went to see Carole in Cwmbran. I worked with her at County Hall nearly 20 years ago, in my first payroll job. She is very religious so her home is full of crosses and Christian motifs. She had been to a religious conference in Korea the year before and we spent some time looking over her photos, but Emily got a bit restless after a while.
After a farewell dinner comprising some of my favourite things, I got the packing done. Despite having bought lots of groceries, toiletries and souvenirs there was plenty of room, thankfully. Emily got very upset around 10pm and I had to give her some medicine to settle her; the jabs maybe? Her legs did seem quite sore after the needles. I am praying that she is over the worse by the time we fly.
