Just been catching up on the earlier posts on here:
Pequod, I do hope the Dowager is recovering from her tumble, I hope the incident hasn't shaken her confidence too badly.
I also hope Barnfind responds favourably to his treatment.
I'm not sure what you mean with the P Trio countdown, are you embarking on a new voyage imminently?
ApO, sounds like you're well on the road to recovery, I hope you're back to full fitness ASAP
The bank holiday weekend will be waiting for you.
