Allow the bearer to pass freely
Anna and Caitlin headed off to their mother-and-baby group again today. Unfortunately, however, Caitlin was very unsettled and spent most of the morning & early afternoon screaming; so Anna had to bring her back home a little early. When she did, it turned out that the postman had been to deliver a package for a C. Hughes - so off Anna went to the post office to fetch it. The somewhat jobs-worth postman then made various complaints about not being supposed to hand over the package without signed authority - as Anna said, "the C. Hughes I have with me is too young to sign anything". However, he finally relented and handed over what turned out to be Caitlin's passport - now all we need to do is get a visa put in it, so that she can re-enter Australia when she comes back from the UK.
