Still Heading South...Or Maybe Out To Sea?

For those of you who are wondering whether Niels has assumed a normal sword-free status, the short answer is we don't know for sure but think the answer is yes. After all this time of hovering whenever he needed to go to the loo to check if it had gone through his system, I turned my back for 5 minutes this morning to start packing our suitcases and suddenly I heard a toilet flushing. So all evidence has disappeared without trace.
Since he is obviously not suffering from a perforated bowel and is in no discomfort we're going to assume that it's safely passed out of his system. Of course, Murphy's Law would dictate that in the small hours of tomorrow morning, when we are flying at 32,000 feet on our way to the Netherlands, he will suddenly grip his stomach and start howling in pain. We prefer not to think about that option at the moment.
On the bright side the doctors said that it would take a maximum of 52 hours to go through and we are well over that by now.
My next posting will be from chilly Holland, where the kids are hoping for snow, hubby is hoping for a big plate of boerenkool with Dutch sausage, and I am hoping to give my bunnies Rocco and Ashley a big smooch. And no frost bite of course.
Will report from the flip side soon.
