Where to start?
The past three weeks has been uneventful to the extent that I can't properly remember what has happened. Anna's mother visited for a weekend, the other two were spent simple lounging as Anna tried to recover from her pneumonia. The weeks looked like any other week.
Spring has properly arrived and I cannot think of a more beautiful season. Spring really suits London. It doesn't really matter that it keeps raining every three days. As long as the sun comes out for a while each day I am satisfied.
Half-term is coming up and I have a week off. It is also very conveniently (not) placed just as the finals take place in Sweden and therefore soem friends cannot visit, others have work. However, there are a few plans we might have to look into. I've always wanted to go to Manchester. First, this weekend Anna and I are seeing Phantom of the Opera.
Then we'll see what happens.

Ups and downs
The past week has been a rollercoaster to say the least. Anna was hospitalised for pneumonia. Heading to the emergency on Wednesday after a fitful night they decided to keep her for a night or two (ended up being a week). Which meant that I, obviously, spent my weekend by her side at Whittington. Which I honestly do not mind, I am glad that I got to spend as many hours with her as I did, even though she was ill. She is home now though, which settles my nerves a whole lot.
I was so surprised by the health care here. Even though we went to the emergency room on the first day of the Junior Doctor Strike, we got help quickly and within hours she had her own bed and had gotten enough help to settle our worries a tad. The staff was so friendly and helpful, making sure we understood what was going on and making sure that Anna was comfortable. Honestly, a bit of a polar opposite with the experiences we have with the Swedish health care. Sorry, not sorry - but it is true.
So she is home and recovering, but I am not fully at ease. I see her ill so very rarely that when she is sick to me she is dying. And though I doubt I will ever stop worry about her wellbeing, I am worrying a bit extra now. Silly, but true.
Other than that ordeal not much has happened. My beloved Nicky is still back in Austria (also sick - why oh why come back you asshat) and I miss her so dearly.
By the way, I love Lush.
