	I have just popped in to say goodnight.. I think we may have got the lights sorted Linda.. so yes I have found the light.. I have talked to Sylvia on Facebook and she has not that long ago signed off. Daf should get a very good send off by all accounts. Carole was around on Facebook as well.. but she can tell you what she has been up to. And now to bed.. Persie

	I hope everyone down under is OK. The heat looks dreadful and that of course has brought more fires. I had a reply from Tecs daughter. Things are much the same he is still being treated and having lots of scans etc, so there isn't much news to report really, it is just a case of keeping everything crossed and waiting

	As no one is around, I will sign off I sent an email to Tec's daughter this afternoon, to ask how he was, but I haven't had a reply yet, so I hope all is well.

	I am sorry that your sister in law has died Sylvia, but it is good that she was peaceful and her family were with her. I hope that the cold weather does not make it difficult for your OH to travel

Member Since: May 2004 Posts: 8,793 Send Message	Sad that it happened, Sylvia, but good to know it was peaceful. My condolences to you, your husband and family. Yes, it's very hot in Melbourne where the tennis is being played. I thought they would have had an arena which is air-conditioned, but apparently not. Nobody wants to be out in the open in 43c heat. I wonder how the spectators are faring.

	My sis-i-l died about an hour ago, very peacefully but suddenly. They are hoping to hold the Memorial on either Friday or Saturday, but will know more tomorrow (Wednesday) OH will get on a plane as soon as we know the timing ................. I might be going to my daughter instead RIP Daf xxx
