random thoughts from gay shanghai

Hanging here in limbo, just awaiting the decision about Sean's entry permit for UK, it's really quite frustrating. Nothing you can do really, we gave them all the documents we could and now just have to wait and see what happens. In my view, everything should work out fine, they don't have  a reason to refuse him entry, but you never know. They kept his passport after he'd handed in all the documents, I guess that must mean he'll get the permit - though I'm assuming that they make the decision on the spot when you apply, as they do when you apply for Chinese visa. The only weird thing is that they said they'd call him in 5 days, where as you'd expect they'd say come and pick up your permit at certain date. Well, who knows. I'm just going to believe everything will be fine, like it always is and then we move to London!!!

Today's pavlova wasn't a big success, it was a lot of work and now I have a killer headache - actually I've had one since this morning - but a beer should solve that, no?
