Hi SEB,

Let me clear up the time thing.. sorry. She'd added on the end of her "IELT problems" email that she would be online at 7am her time and perhaps we could talk then if I was still up (her 7am would be my 11pm GMT last night). I stayed up until 1:30 GMT (which would have been 9:30am her time) - from the Facebook timing on her "friend chat" which said "2 hours ago" when I looked at 6:00am my time this morning, that would have made her online activity to have been between about 3am and 4am, which would finally have been between 11am and 12 noon her time. You know how tricky the timing can be with these things.

As we seem to have agreed there man, because of the inherent comms difficulties we're having all I can really do now is wait and see if it sorts itself out.. or if there's a big string along happening - I do hope not because up to now she has seemed okay. Let's just hope it's me looking with "western eyes" and a lack of sleep..
