Sorry to be gone for so long. While in the nursing facility had bad wifi connection and also my iPad and Mudcat don't play well together for some reason. So I made few posts and mostly to the other thread.

But all of you have been in my thoughts. Was really sorry to not meet Nigel or to see Bobert and P Vine, but it was pretty fine to actually hear his voice on the telephone!

Glad your family is drying out maeve. Hope their homes were not entirely flooded.

Hope you are home and getting some sleep to recover from jet lag, Nigel.

And holding all of your family in my thoughts Tam.
