sweet home....back home and the Guardian quick crossword impossible today, but my kidneys - which failed two weeks ago - are working again.
Thank you for all the lovely messages. You cannot imagine how much messages from outside help when you are stuck in hospital.
Lovely to see you back. You know, ever since I first remember hearing about you, (can't remember in what context, but certainly a few years back) I've had this image of you and your family having frighteningly clever intellectual debates across the breakfast table. You know the sort of thing - T.S. Eliot and anti-semitism, Philip Pullman's imagery. So, it is really comforting to hear that you are struggling with the Guardian Quick Crossword! Hope for us all.

Welcome home, Dina! Kidney failure is a little extreme to get out of Yom Kippur fasting, don't you think?
Love, Francesca

Saturday's 'Quick' Crossword wasn't finished until yesterday afternoon (and the thesaurus was NO help at all).
Good to have you back, and a big hug to your kidneys - metaphorically of course!
