A lot was done: much cooking and cleaning and dog walking.    The mood was better for both of us and Billy, infatigable, got BJG to take him again to the dog park ( 5th walk of the day). He has another walk at 7-8pm. 

I got a letter from my dad in law today. A long email where he invites me to visit with Brian in April or September. Unfortunately, the borders are really discriminatory against people with mental health issues. So I don’t want to take the risk given I cannot lie since my meds have to be on the plane with me in my hand bag. Plus we have to board three pets and that is too expensive. I have been 3 times to NZ and around since 1997. The last time was in 2005. Thankfully, the dad and law and sisters in law visited too since then! And Brian went back a few times of course.
