It may be a longish labour for Nadia. Yesterday she had a full checkup with a midwife and the prognosis for birth was: it could happen tonight, tomorrow or in three weeks! She continued to have contractions throughout the night and this morning. We are really both hoping that the boy comes very soon. I hate to see her in pain.
At the same time as all this has been happening, we have been hosting two Japanese friends, Chihiro and Rika. The timing couldn't be worse but its nobodies fault. Yesterday they went into Sydney alone and by all reports did well until they caught the wrong train home later on. A succession of phone calls and internet timetable checks later and things were righted. I picked them up much later wandering the streets near our house, lost in the darkness, drizzle and fog. It was like a scene from a thirties movie.
In the humid March air
come visitors from the Emporer,
invisibilities unfurling
