We went for the official con, rather than the day before and after as usual. It was good, but I hope I never need to go to the Palace Hotel again - I'm STILL in pain and I didn't even waste hip points going to program items (I only went to things right beside a lift other than food and the children's play area, but even so it was a hell of a lot of walking with lots of ramps or stairs). There was a fire alarm at 5:30 on Saturday morning and because there were no ground floor rooms I had to walk down from the third floor with Astrid in my arms (Rob had to help the bigger girls, because they had just woken up and were terrified). I was able to do it but I almost collapsed afterwards and Emer helped me to the seat at a bus-stop.
It was lovely to meet people again and as usual my favourite program item was "staying up early with people in the bar."

Actually, I would like to ask Rob for permission to post his timeline here, or perhaps he'll post it in comments. It's surreal in its extravagant incompetence.
Birthdays
Astrid is FOUR and Emer will be EIGHT TOMORROW. Holy wah. Neither wanted a big party. Which is just as well because no way am I energetic enough.
Health
I've decided to try going gluten-free. If I feel better in a week I'll go gluten-tastic again and demand proper testing from the GP.
