Well, balls! The wife heard from her colleague in Leeds, who will apparently be back in Thailand for all or most of April! For an operation on her hand. Seems she can’t even use a computer now, and her advisers will let her come back then for the operation because of Easter or something. April is really the only time my wife can get away in the near future, and the colleague has to be finished with her doctorate by July, because that’s when her professor retires.
So there may be no trip. Stay tuned.
