Australia Day 3

My mother has improved but she is still in hospital on an oxygen mask. She loves having Ben and I with her. I gave her a shawl we bought for her in Mexico. She loved it. She can't speak more than a couple of words but you can tell her emotions from the look on her face.

Traveling overseas is a real challenge. Last two days I couldn't call the US on my prepaid cell phone. Today it works and have talked with Julie and my Bank (they had put a hold on my credit card because they didn't like one of the charges I made. I informed them that is was okay and they are let me use it again). However the hold they put on it stopped my internet access working. Anyhow, you know the drill. Whatever can go wrong will. 

Being in town means my brother Andrew can do a business trip to Singapore. I am glad I can help. I can't do much from the US. I will be visiting my other sons soon. Looking forward to that. Alexander gets back from New Zealand this Saturday. Haven't heard any bad news so that means he hasn't broken anything snowboarding (hopefully).

Has been raining for the past two days. Finally got sick of that. Sun came out today and I feel a lot better. I miss my wife and my friends. Why doesn't everybody just all live in the same place?
