A happy-sad afternoon with Ola and family around for tea and cakes for what is very likely indeed to be the last time. As usual, a cheerfully wide-ranging discussion covering everything from the nature of truth to how to bake chocolate muffins - and, not surprisingly in view of the circumstances, the vagaries of various nations' policies on immigration and how these affect real people.
If anyone can explain to me how a lovely, very intelligent young lady with an excellent school record who's completed eleven years of her education in a country, and who needs a student pass for just one year to be allowed to complete her final 'O' level year, and whose financial stability over that time is a hundred per cent guaranteed, can be rationally denied said pass I'd be interested to hear them.
Simple, but very painful, rule of life: bureaucracies are invariably unyielding. And a lesson not to take our right of abode here for granted - because we haven't got any.
