To Thames Ditton to have a meal with Jenny and Doug. First time we’ve seen D since December, when he had fallen and suffered what was later determined to be a broken wrist. A number of small and not so small repercussions from that fall. Pleased to be able to visit with him and spend more time with Jenny. Jenny’s role as guarantor was happily successful. Barrister-at-Law, retired, formerly with HMRC did the trick. Tea and talk and a very nice high tea. The only short trip holiday abroad (Nile Cruise, 2005) that has ever blossomed into a real friendship.

And as a bonus we’re able  to renew J’s driver’s licence online and print the resulting document. Easy and secure to renew on tablet with VPN, but not easy to print from same at public facility. Easy to print at library or internet café, but using their insecure computers. And impossible to renew in Ontario more than six months before expiry. So this is welcome.
