Hi folks, thought I'd start us off.
Not much to report but I managed to master posting videos on the Daily Update today.
Have packed my case, just got to do OH's today and pack the car up tonight ready for the early morning start on Monday.
Will have a lot to catch up on when I get back but hope all goes well with you all and thinking of you TerryM, OH, and the funeral this week.
Take care all, God Bless.

Good Morning ALL. Lovely sunny morning, but we are threatened with thundry showers this afternoon.
AQ, I can feel your pain as you continued with all that walking, when you were already suffering. No wonder it is taking so long for you to recover.
Annette , Thanks for the link to the JFK Turtles. I loved the phrase that the turtles were assisted on their progress over the runway.
Trish, Good to hear that Mia seems back to her normal self. I am sure she will assist with your packing. :-)
OG, I see you refused to part with your blood again. Hope it all goes well on Monday.
Linda, I am glad that OH's Aunt is able to go home and stay with her family. I am sure she will be happy with that arrangement and will be so pleased to see you all at the weekend.
Cirrus, I hope your name problem is solved today. I remember you becoming Cirrus and thinking what an unusual and original name to have.
My computer is playing up again, so OH is arguing for a replacement but they want to pick it up again on Friday to prove it for themselves. It is the same problem as they said they repaired a month ago.
OH has lost a large tooth filling this morning, so he has an emergency appointment for 11.45am and then we must go supermarket shopping.
Oh, there are so many of us losing tooth fillings - hope it's an NHS repair cos they reallly do cost an arm and a leg these days ! Commiserations to OH BRENDA
And fingers crossed that the company you bought your computer from originally see sense and decide that customer service is really important to them.
Just been reading that if you listen to Radio 5 on the internet, you will be able to cut out grunts and screams from the players but still hear the commentary. I guess you coulld watch the tv with no sound and listen to the computer/Radio 5 commentary. It seems there is a rule that the player, who is playing against a noisy player, can use. They can complain about the disruptive noise.
Thanks Cirrus. We do not have an NHS dentist around here so we have to pay insurance with DenPlan.
Brenda: Might try that with the radio commentary for the tennis!!! They are not likely to complain about each other, as they all seem to do it, now. Heard on one of the commentaries that they are told by their trainers to expel air, to make the shot even more powerful!
Just rained heavily here, so a showery day as was forecast.
(My dentist went over to the Private sector a while ago, so we have to pay him, but have a medical insurance which helps with the payments.)
Ok all things ISS

Yes, thank you, TIGER. Do you know anything about ''them'' needing to evacuate the IIS. Maybe I misread what was posted here.
EDIT Annette posted : Terry: Fascinating about evacuation plans for the ISS crew; had no idea!

It is news to me. I will have a look.
MARGO had posted on DU !!!!!!!!!!!! Wonderful. Did she post here? I don't see it
Good morning all and many thanks for your kind wishes. I am just so glad to be able to get back on line although still a few problems to sort out with PC. Have had a pretty awful time since I came back from LG. Don't think I have ever felt so ill. Terrible chest infection which resisted the first lot of antibiotics prescribed and had to go back to the doctor again last Friday who prescribed something stronger and at last I am starting to feel better. Had awful problems with breathing and spent a few nights sat upright on the settee which seemed to help a bit but of course got terribly short of sleep, as did OH and Billie with all the coughing. Still a bit of a cough but nothing like it was. Have felt really down and last Friday had more bad news from my sister. She has some strange growths appearing on her hand and fingers. After seeing her specialist she has been told they are probably malignant melanomas and will have to be cut out and then skin grafts applied. I just feel so upset for her and wonder how much more she can take. She is coming to the Isle of Wight with all her family for a week on Saturday and we are all going over there to see her so I am pleased that I do feel better as I would not want to give her anything else to deal with. My other sister and I have told each other that we must register any shock when we see her although I think this will be difficult.
The computer saga has been pretty dreadful too. Have always been quite impressed with PC World when we have had problems but not this time. Took the PC into them a week ago last Wednesday and were told that it would be sorted by Saturday and they would ring us. Saturday came and went and most of Sunday when OH phoned them to find out what was going on. He was told there was a currupt file and they were still trying to find it and they would give him a call on Monday. No call on Monday so OH phoned again Tuesday and was offered a lot of excuses as well as being told that it would cost £130. We had been told it would cost £50. OH sorted this out and we paid £50 and collected it Tuesay I think only to find that they had removed programmes and not reinstalled them. OH could sort some ot these out but they removed my word processing package which is where I am going to type uf my LG diary before copying to the forum. Now we will have to take it back Friday night and they will do that whle we wait. All in all I can say that it has been a bit of a torrid time since my return from LG.
Thanks to everyone for all the news and pics which I have had to scan through very quickly as I had nearly 3.000 emails which took most of yesterday to delete. Feel awful that I can't make any individual replies but hopefully now I will be able to catch up and take part a lot more, so many apologies for my lack of responses. Needless to say housework etc is way behind and I am catching up a bit each day. OH kept everywhere tidy while I was at LG but myt first real housework was yesterday and today and then I find I have to sit down for while as I am qute weak at the moment.
So pleased I have Billie around as she cheers me up and shows so much affection towards both of us. At the moment I am tryig to get some fur ball treatment as she has been sick a few times and it consists mainly of fur. She is one of the cleanest cats I have ever known, spends hours every day washing herself. Tried to get some on her paw but she knows something is up and has chosed to tuck her paws underneath so I can't get to them. Will have to wait until she sprawls right out and is fast alseep and then have another go.
Sorry this is a bit of a whinging post but things will improve once I am right back to full health again. Take care all and once again thanks for your concerns for me. Good to back as I have really missed you all.
