My shoulder continues to improve, and although still a bit stiff, no longer hurts.
No new bad things have happened for nearly two weeks, and on Friday something which could have gone badly wrong failed to do so. I turned up at the Eurostar terminal with my new replacement passport, without it having occurred to me that a non-EU passport with no entry stamp might raise concerns. I didn't have any additional documentation on me to prove that I had the right to be in the country, but after some embarrassed explanations and the digging out of my registration letter from KUL on my phone, the customs officer let me through. It was pretty clear though that this was done at his discretion, and had I got someone in a bad mood then it could have got at least extremely inconvenient, and possibly much worse than that.
