My husband's stepfather died in the early hours of this morning. We've been spending all our time so far today rushing around getting Colin on a flight to Australia, and there's still a lot to be done.

So you'll understand if I'm not around here much for the next few days or weeks. (I'll have to give the Manchester meet-up a miss, too.)

Condolences are not really necessary on my account -- I never met the man -- but I'll channel your good wishes in Colin's direction.

Sorry to hear that Robbie. Pass on my condolences to Colin, my thoughts are with him at this tough time

That's sad news, my thoughts are with Colin and they rest of the family

condolances to Colin

Thanks to everybody. Col is off to Oz tomorrow, after several hectic days of getting flights and everything else arranged.

At least once he's away I can start clearing some of my in-tray backlog. Haven't done a lick of paying work for days now.
