Hip is fine, walked today without the crutches, over extended myself, I have a bit of swelling, have the wound iced.
The housesitting/ swapping I will get back to you tomorrow. I'm really glad you are having a go with one or both, it's a great way to travel. Good you have a response already. Happened to us (swapping) with a Finnish couple first up, in fact we got the response in 2 hours of listing. This couple are still friends today, that was 7 years ago.
