... Friends, sifting through the latest posts, I was sorry to learn that two of our regular correspondents happened to be feeling a wee bit "under the weather", so to speak. Therefore, to each of them, my very best wishes for a speedy recovery, as - early tomorrow morning - my wife and I will be setting off to visit Myrna's niece and family in Hartlepool, and shall be away from home for most of next week.
Likewise, to those of you anxiously awaiting your partner's visas, ... Godspeed!
Finally - but not least - I've read that you're due to fly back to Blighty tomorrow, Graham ... so I empathise and wish you a safe journey.
