visitors

Looking for kindred spirits online when car headlights light up the far wall of the bedroom.Go to the front door to welcome son H and friend J who have come for an impromptu visit at four am.We discuss PCOS(Polycystic ovary syndrome), since they are medical students and it is the current gynaecological fashion diagnosis (having taken over from endometriosis ), while H looks for something with sugar in it - an ice cream will suffice - and I make a pot of tea: Pai Mu Tan looseleaf white tea, my favourite.
Now five am.They find their beds and I must also sleep before a big day of clothes shopping with F, the youngest and most fashion obsessed.

The cat joins me while the wind whistles outside.
