We spoke to Urban-cub first thing this morning. She had had a good night's sleep and was awaiting the arrival of C2BAX to talk her through the op. Sir Lancinglot (S-L) was there, having driven across first thing, and arriving at 6:30! At least he was there to hold her hand and see her off.

S-L has just called to say she has gone off to theatre (it's nice that they provide entertainment whilst she's in hospital). The performance procedure is expected to take a couple of hours.
