Well, I'm still here... 44 hours to departure. A few notes.

Weekends are not great for breaking arms and legs but surgery is possible in Sydney public hospitals in a reasonably reasonable timeframe. Yep, an arm and a leg in one weekend, but thankfully on two different people.
The beads above are from my "kids collection". Bugs in clover and candy-coloured critters.
